Self-Hosted Extension

Is there a way to self-host an extension for Opera? Our extension uses minified and obfuscated code, which is against Opera's requirements. We already have our extension available for Firefox and Chrome — the exact same build — and would like to support Opera.

We will not unminify it because when minfied the file size is 52.42% smaller. However, we know it'll just get rejected from the Opera store. So the next best option, if possible is self-hosting.

Put it on GitHub? for local installations.

And no, you cannot host extensions from dubious locations.

However parts of an extension can be executed on a remote server.

You can install extensions that are not hosted on Opera's site in Developer mode (rather obviously). And there is an extension to allow downloads from the Chrome web store - maybe best to see if your Chrome extension works in Opera.

Thanks! I think the best option is the "Download Chrome Extension" extension. Thanks for letting us know about it.
