About this extension

With this extension, you can allow certain pages to use "window.focus()" again to bring themself into foreground. For this you need to enable the extension's icon in the extension area, then, when on the page to allow, click on the icon and tick the checkbox "allow window.focus()" to permit this page. You can revert any time by unchecking the checkbox, of course.

I need this for my JavaScript helper pages (called "minions"), such that these can more easily be found again when they hide between trainloads of other tabs. So if one of those minions calls out for another one (via broadcast events), the right minion can bring itself in front of me, just with good old "window.focus()".

No magic here, everything just Banana!

No ads, no phone home, fully free and Open Source.

(Not all features are implemented, but it is fully usable already.)
BTW, my minions are there: https://github.com/hilbix/minion

THIS IS A VERY EARLY RELEASE. It has not been tested much. It was only tested slightly with a current FF ESR unter Ubuntu 22.04.

Developer comments

As I possibly want to add it to Google Playstore as well, this is an MV3 extension only. It is also only meant for postmodern browsers and probably only meaningful to them.
