Also, I'm using window.open instead of browser.windows.create because my two windows need to have access to each other.

Bear in mind that this ext is 5.x MB... Yes it has tons of possibilities and features.

Have u checked link opening extensions?

@rudrick said in Using "chrome_url_overrides" for extension: Use "webnavigation" and direct it to the extension page... Were you able to get this to work? chrome.webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate doesn't fire when a new start page tab is opened with ctrl + t or the + button on the tab bar. If you navigate from another page view, the start page button or entering the URL, it'll fire though. So, it'll only work part of the time. chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest doesn't fire for the startpage, so you can't block it and then use redirectUrl with it. This method works, but it has a few downsides. The history issue could probably be fixed with the history api though, but haven't tried.

As far as I know, all extensions in Opera's add-ons store are manually reviewed before being allowed there, so most probably all of them - there may be a few exceptions, of course - are following the guides.

See this FYI from Opera about the long approval time. Hopefully Opera will sort that out. https://forums.opera.com/post/128215 Is this the Firefox version you're talking about? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-download/ If so, you can keep an eye out in https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions for the Chrome version, which you can install in Opera using the method I mentioned previously. I don't see it in the Chrome web store yet, so have the FYI you when it's ready.

@edsonmartim I just received an email from the add-ons developer and got the following response: I had submitted the update for Opera but their moderation has neither accepted or denied the submission !!! Helpful? What does it take for the updates to be performed and the icon to work again on the Youtube site using the Opera browser? Att, Edson

@damodeals See https://forums.opera.com/topic/16609/very-long-extension-moderation-process/100?page=5

added, get some good suggestion like instapaper, fipboard at Toptenalternatives but still looking for any addon for web browser which work same as Xmarks.

Seems Opera has lost control over its extensions
