| Summary | 0006964: Extension provides no hint when Taler action detected | ||||
| Description | If I don't have the "automatically open wallet based on page content" permission enabled, it's very hard for me to know when a Taler action has been detected in a page. I must open the Taler extension to find out. If I don't, I will miss the Taler action. The extension should provide a visual cue whenever a Taler action is detected and the "automatically open wallet" permission is disabled. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. install the web extension, leaving the permission to automatically open the wallet based on page content unselected 2. Go to the demo bank and start a withdrawal Outcome: nothing changes in the extension to tell me that a Taler action has been detected in the withdrawal page. Expected outcome: the extension should provide a visual cue to tell me that something requires my attention. | ||||
| Additional Information | There are a couple of approaches we could take for this: 1. Display some kind of badge in the Taler extension icon. For examples of this approach, see uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Cookie Autodelete extensions (see attached file addon_feedback.png). 2. Display an overlay somewhere in the browser, for instance the right-hand side. For an example of this approach, see the Unpaywall extension. It displays a green, open padlock if a free version of an academic paper exists. Clicking the padlock brings you to that free version in a new browser tab (see attached file unpaywall_overlay.png). Happy to discuss approaches before coming up with a design. Found on Firefox Version 90.0 for Ubuntu (21.04) Commit: 37031700d094d2e281529b937f196b65a0f83f2e | ||||
