# No Login

This is a Mozilla Firefox Add-On to access social media websites without logging in, by removing login popups, bypassing other banners, etc.

Currently supported websites:
- LinkedIn
- Instagram
- Facebook
- X (Twitter)

Note that the add-on is in its early phase; please submit a review for any issue or feature request.

#### Demo

![](https://github.com/MartinBraquet/no-login/blob/main/demo/demo.gif?raw=true)

## Installation

Install the extension

* at https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/no-login,
* or go to `Add-ons` and search for `no login`.

Once installed, the extension will automatically and seamlessly work in the background.

### Locally

Alternatively, you can install the extension from a local folder.
This can be useful for easily testing a not-yet-published version of the extension, without having to set up
a development environment. For example, a pull request might be in progress to address a user issue, and we would like the user
to test the changes (without taking the risk to publish this version on the store).

To do so:

1. Obtain the extension source code locally: clone the relevant repo or download and extract its zip file (e.g., [here](https://github.com/MartinBraquet/no-login/archive/main.zip) for the main branch)

2. Navigate to `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` in the Firefox URL search bar

3. Right next to `Temporary Extensions`, click on `Load Temporary Add-on...`

4. In the selection, click on any file in the root directory of the local extension

## Development

### Prerequisites

* [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/)
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/): 20.9.0
* [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm): 10.1.0
* [web-ext](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/getting-started-with-web-ext/): 7.8.0

Other versions might work, but have not been tested.

### Set up environment

1. Clone the repo

```sh
   git clone git@github.com:MartinBraquet/no-login.git
    ```

2. Install the prerequisites

For Debian-based distributions:

Install Node.js from these [instructions](https://deb.nodesource.com/).

```sh
   sudo apt install npm
   sudo npm install --global web-ext
   npm install .
   ```

3. Run the extension on desktop:
   ```sh
   npm run start
   ```
   Note: to run on a mobile device connected to your computer, first install the Firefox Nightly app on that mobile. Then set up `adb`:
   ```sh
   sudo apt install android-tools-adb
   adb devices
   ```
    Then, run the extension:
    ```sh
    npm run build
    web-ext run -t firefox-android --adb-device <YOUR_DEVICE_ID> --firefox-apk org.mozilla.fenix
    ```

### Debugging

1. Open the browser console

```sh
   Ctrl + Shift + I
   ```
   Or `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` and click on `Inspect` to open the extension console.

### Testing

```shell
npm test
```

### Build

1. Build the extension

```sh
   ./build.sh
   ```

2. The extension is now available in the `web-ext-artifacts` folder as a .zip file.

### Release

When you update the version in [manifest.json](manifest.json) and push the changes to the `main` branch, a GitHub action will automatically
publish on the Mozilla Add-ons Store, as well as on GitHub. You can also add release notes (for the Add-ons Store) in
[amo_metadata.json](amo_metadata.json).

#### Old Fashioned Submission

For users who want more control and visibility over the submission process of their own add-on, they can build and
[submit](https://addons.mozilla.org) the .zip file to Mozilla for review and publication.

Note: naturally, you won't be able to publish the same extension or overwrite the existing one.
If your extension diverges from the current one, you can change the extension's ID in the `manifest.json` file and publish
it as a new extension in your own account.

## Mozilla Add-ons Store

Go to the [store](store) folder to view and update the texts on the Mozilla Add-ons Store.

- [ ] Add support for additional websites
- [ ] Make the extension compatible with other browsers (e.g., Chrome, etc.)
- [ ] Improve the extension's [popup](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/user_interface/Popups) (right now it only shows the number of logins skipped). Related files: [popup.js](src/popup.js), [popup.html](src/popup.html)
- [ ] Add better screenshots for the add-on page in the store (in the [store](store) folder)
