I don't know. I mean, yes, I need 'blocked requests' and 'unlimited storage' for my extension (http://fraidyc.at/). However, at least I can give Safari users a taste of it - which could either:

* draw them into fuller platforms for using it. (or)

* pressure safari to support more of the standard.

Stepping stones.

I’d never heard of your extension before but IMO that is not at all what I think of as a “browser extension” - it seems to me that it’s more using the browser as an application runtime than actually providing more functionality for the current page.

Well - you could look at it as extending the browser (into a feed reader) rather than extending the current page.

I love the concept of your extension. You're right, the 24/7 feeds from social media encourage spam, and the way out of it is to take control of the view with software like yours. Great work!
