Topic on Talk:Who Wrote That?

I realise the greater difficulty in adding extensions to Safari because of Apple's policy requirements, but it's disappointing that it's not available there. I know most editors use Chrome, but I find Safari immensely superior for use with extensive WP editing in respect to handling multiple windows and recovery from crashes.

I was glad to see the hope that you might make this available as an extension, and I urge you to do so, and in general try to implement add-ons within wikimedia, not as part of external programs. No matter what browser someone might use, it's helpful to keep all the WP-specific special features in one place. DGG (talk) 22:37, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for the feedback! We understand that Chrome and Firefox browsers aren't used by all editors, and we're interested in seeing how we can expand accessibility of the tool. For this reason, we're currently conducting an investigation to determine how/if we can make the tool a gadget/extension for Wikipedia users (rather than a browser extension). If time and resources permit, we hope to expand accessibility. Thank you!

I am also, as @DGG, wondering why this tool is available only to chrome & X (sorry I forget which browser was mentioned on the documentation page and cannot easily switch from this discussion forum to the original page), as well as wondering why this information requires three differenet modes of communication: information page in wiki-text, this flow-like forum, and fabricator which you have sent us to look at?

Welp, I'm glad that someone has the same question as I do (I use Safari on Mac, so I'd want a Gadget). It looks like the Phabricator investigation ended with issues on the cross-site request thing. Not unexpected, guess I will try Firefox.
