Custom Button

I've been using Quick Home Button for ages which is unfortunately not MV3 compatible. Thankfully Custom Button is a perfect replacement, and more.

Great extension!

Not only did this not work. Why does it need to read my browsing history. A custom button has nothing to do with that!? Uninstalled and not recommended

Hi Chris, thank you for your feedback. What is it exactly that is not working? Seems to be working fine for me. The only permissions the extension makes use are "notifications": for obvious reasons, since the extension offers this feature. "storage": to save the settings. "tabs": to open new tabs and access the url of the current tab (when using the %url parameter). This is the permission that shows as "browsing history", poorly stated by Google Chrome imo. The code for the extension is free and open for anyone: https://github.com/rubenmv/chrome-extension-custom-button

It's good! I only wish even more buttons could be included. But, it's better than nothing that's for sure. Thanks a lot!

good

Thank God, something that works easily, simply, efficiently. We appreciate that. Cheers.

amazing plugin! thank you! Quick question: Let's say I've assigned the website at www.example.com to the button and the website is already open in a tab. Is it possible to configure the button so when I click on it, it would open the already-open tab instead of opening a new tab? Update: I'd appreciate a reply to this. Thank you

I love it. And I want the clone this extension, but the maker say can't give it. So I want tell me someone other extension can setting icon image and URL😶‍🌫️

Work's perfectly, would love to be able to create multiple buttons.

Thanks. It does what it says but does it really need to "Read your browsing history" (in permissions)? Example, a similar extension, the 'Youtube Button' which will launch Youtube from whatever current page you're on "requires no special permissions" & "has no additional site access". If the Custom Button is single instance only & set to one site, why does it need to read browsing history to do that?

Hi John, the difference here with "Youtube button" is that my extension has a feature where you can write "%url" anywhere in the URL field and it will replace that term with the active tab url. Because of that I require the "tab" permission, to retrieve the current tab url, which in translation it shows as "Read your browsing history" permission. I wish there was more granularity in requesting permissions, but for now it that or nothing. I don't use it for anything else, and always publish my code for anyone to see. https://github.com/rubenmv/chrome-extension-custom-button/tree/master/release Thank you for your review.
