Can I link Extensions in Additional Info?

§
Posted: 2024-10-28

So one of my scripts has been actively detected by the website owner and they have blocked the execution and or flagged any variables. that are being set in the script so I turned it into an extension so that script can runs in its own domain and doesn't directly interact with the website. Is it OK if I link the github to the additional info of the user script so people can download it and it can't be detected by the website owner.

It would depend on exactly how you did it, but you should be in the clear if:

  1. The code on Greasy Fork still works in some capacity.
  2. You don't tell people to install your extension instead of installing the user script.

If your script is truly non-functional on Greasy Fork, I'd suggest switching it to be unlisted and adding your link.

The script still works it just CAN get you ban(not always) so what do I do?

I think that if you're still primarily suggesting people use the user script, then you're fine having a link to the extension. The problem is if you're telling people to use the extension and not the user script, then your script on Greasy Fork just becomes an ad for it.

Oh ok. And can the extension be obfuscated because I don't want the website owner to look at the code and find a way to detect it like they did with the userscript.

I don't care if the extension's code is obfuscated. Just that the code on Greasy Fork isn't and is the primary method you're suggesting to Greasy Fork users.
