is this project abandoned? when i want to download the extension from web store i got "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."

Hmm I'd consider it so yes. The message you got is since this extension was not (yet) migrated to manifest v3. This is a new format that requires a massive amount of changes. I did try to do some initial work on this migration to get an idea of whether it was feasible but I found it to be infeasible. There's just too many changes, especially for an extension as old as this one. It was built on some pretty ancient web technologies that have become obsolete by now and that are even less so supported.

I'll keep this issue open to make it more visible to those looking for a similar explanation.

Hi, is there any alternative if this project is not updated anymore? I can't find it anything :(

[SanderRonde]

Greasemonkey/tampermonkey is a pretty good alternative for running "userscripts". Similarly stylish is pretty good for custom styles. There's also I think a few other extensions that allow custom links in the right-click menu. I think there's nothing that combines them all like this project but depending on what you're using the extension for these might be good alternatives :)

Thank you for answer. I would run custom scripts with selected text as parameter.

[SanderRonde]

I think you could probably make that work with greasemonkey/tampermonkey. IIRC they don't have a right-click menu entry to activate scripts but you could always write a script that listens for a specific keyboard shortcut and fires that way. Or maybe they've built in some other ways of "firing" a script at this point.

a few other extensions

Do you know the names of any? I have looked but can't seem to find any that have been updated to manifest v3...

[SanderRonde]

Ah yeah you're right. I did some searching too but there don't seem to be any good ones that are updated...
