blaine-t / modern-cite-creator

This is my updating and porting of the extension Cite Creator to Firefox. I have also updated the code base from deprecated code to modern code since the extension was last released in 2016. It should now be written in a way that it is usable in any modern browser. Tested in Chrome 115 and Firefox 115

Modern Cite Creator

Problem

I have always wanted to be able to use the Cite Creator extension by Aaron Hardy from Paperless Debate but I am a Firefox user and the extension was never available for Firefox. Since the extension is licensed under GPL-3.0 I decided to port the extension to Firefox and MV3 so that when Google phases out MV2 extensions like Cite Creator there will be an alternative available.

Solution

That's why I developed Modern Cite Creator so that anyone can use Cite Creator in the future.

Downloads available here:

• Firefox
• Chrome
• MV2 (1.2.0)
• MV3 (1.3.0)

There is little to no code changes in the extension besides a couple security fixes since the old code used deprecated code but besides that it's the same extension you know and love just updated for modern browsers.

Future

It should also work for other browsers if anyone wants me to look into publishing the extension for their browser of choice! Please submit an issue for issues or additional browser support.

Special Thanks To

Aaron Hardy over at Paperless Debate for the original Chrome extension
