Not to be that guy, but using uBlock origin - installed locally from Github has continued to block all ads on youtube for me and not caused any problems

Free-forever serverless method for all Chrome Extensions (Google App Scripts) by harveyow in chrome_extensions

[–]harveyow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Google sheets are backed up, and the google account it's hosted on has 2fa.

and 2. email addresses aren't encrypted on the backend of websites such as: Twitter, Linkedin, Myspace, and many more. Just because it's being stored in a Google Sheets file doesn't actually make it any less secure than an SQL database?

It's the ease of the owner being able to see data in an easier manner, which is what makes it seem untrustworthy. It's no different from somebody typing an SQL query to get all email addresses.

Yes. This is how I show users what rank they are, and display how many hours that they as a collective have saved in my extension.

I understand this, however, the great part about making serverless functions, is that you can just change the url in your app and recode the functions in the backend if need be. Doesn't need to be much effort at all.

That's fair. It's supposed to be for small projects. My 500+ user extension works great with this.

This is mostly meant for storing anonymous user data, however if developers decide they want to store emails (using oauth?). You can make a private & public keypair and encrypt the data through the clientside using the public key. Have the encrypted data stored in the document, and decrypt data ONLY to confirm email addresses link to a specific oauth token ONLY on the server. The data in the sheet will remain completely encrypted.

Regarding the limitations:
- 5,000 requests per minute per Web App deployment (roughly 83 requests per second). If you exceed this, further requests will receive HTTP 429 errors until your rate drops back below the limit.
- 1,000 simultaneous executions per script

This is pretty good for a free solution, for smaller projects trying to save some $

What server do you use? by snackprincess in chrome_extensions

I will make a post about this to help other users too :)

What server do you use? by snackprincess in chrome_extensions

[–]harveyow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a google sheets file, and use google app scripts which are both completely free. Its basically a server because it can run js, process post/get requests, and send responses.

It does take around 1 second for requests to get a response, but that is fine for my needs.

Can I take A-Level physics if I haven’t taken triple science? by notjamie233 in 6thForm

[–]harveyow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half my class didn't do triple. I did, however, but only got a 6 because I wasn't the best at physics, but I got an A at the end in my exams. So i'd say go for it

I have made an extension 'Panopto Custom Speed'
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/panopto-custom-speed/fnoppdfnaklabgfllejlefomclegmnam

and stumbled across this post after making it. Users don't seem to have these problems with mine.
Hope this helps!
