Description
Content scripts are JS scripts that run in content, but are provided by the browser, rather than by the website. Currently this is provided by addons (Greasemonkey, and Jetpack has it planned). Ideally, Firefox should support this natively.
Rationale
This is a spin-off from the exploration of Jetpack uplift. Content scripts is one of the first steps in providing developers with open-web tools to augment the browsing experience. While this is a step toward accomplishing the end-goal, the implementation is separate from Jetpack, and therefore a separate sprint.
Goals
- First-class support for content scripts
- Must be secure - content space only, no chrome privileges
Non-goals
- Provide extensive API for content scripts
Status
- Basic functionality working.
