Configure an EdgeEver instance URL and API Token.
Test the connection and select a default notebook.
Click the extension action to capture the selected content, or extract the article body with Mozilla Readability when there is no selection.
Convert the extracted article HTML into Markdown with Turndown before uploading it.
Create a searchable EdgeEver memo with the source URL and a web-clip tag.

The extension does not use a central relay service. The page content is sent directly to the EdgeEver instance configured by the user.

Localization

The extension uses the cross-browser chrome.i18n compatibility namespace. English is the fallback locale, and Simplified Chinese is available for browsers whose UI language is Chinese.

User-visible strings live in public/_locales/<locale>/messages.json. Add or update every supported locale when changing interface copy. Chrome Web Store listing translations are maintained separately in the developer dashboard; ready-to-paste English and Simplified Chinese copy is available in STORE_LISTING.md.

Development

Chromium

From the repository root:

bun run build:extension

Then open apps/extension/dist from chrome://extensions or edge://extensions with Developer mode enabled and choose Load unpacked.

Firefox

Firefox uses the same application code with a Firefox-specific generated manifest:

bun run build:extension:firefox
bun run lint:extension:firefox

Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, choose Load Temporary Add-on, and select apps/extension/dist-firefox/manifest.json.

To create the unsigned AMO submission archive after building and linting:

bun run package:extension:firefox

The archive is written to apps/extension/web-ext-artifacts. Firefox requires AMO signing for normal installation. The manifest supports Firefox Desktop 140 or later and Firefox for Android 142 or later so Mozilla's built-in data-transmission consent UI is available.

Firefox data disclosure

The Firefox package declares the data types required by its user-triggered clipping function:

authenticationInfo: the API token sent directly to the user's EdgeEver instance.
browsingActivity: the URL of the page the user chooses to clip.
websiteContent: the selected text or extracted article content the user chooses to clip.

No data is sent to an EdgeEver-operated relay, analytics service, or advertising service.

The next planned step is preserving a single-file HTML archive in R2 while keeping extracted text in the memo for search.
