@gorhill I'd be happy to do it. Is there something wrong, or are you simply running out of patience/time?

Done. Looks like this has to be confirmed by someone at Github to complete.

@gorhill okay, seems to have taken effect.
What would you like to do about the Chrome Web Store?

I suppose you should publish new version with a name indicative of the change. I plan to work on my own version which may or may not diverge from the current official version, so should the two versions diverge enough, keeping my own version on Chrome store is a good thing.

@gorhill okay. Would you mind requesting the transfer here? That'll ensure that current users can get updates.

As said, I prefer to keep the Chrome store version as my own version. Publish a new version please.

What an utterly strange sequence of events. Within hours, two of the main contributors drop off with no reason given. Weird! @Deathamns and @gorhill did a superb job anyway, irrespective of their reasons for leaving.

Well, at least a small reason was the least people should expect.
Oh well, whatever, wish Chris all the luck, and hopefully skilled devs for platforms other than Safari will show up.

@Betsy25 hope so, too. I'm comfortable with the Safari and Chrome extension APIs, but not really with Firefox.
Will have to see how things turn out.

@chrisaljoudi
About your last comment; is this the general view of all web developers nowadays? Is this why all of the best extensions for Firefox stopped getting support and/or updates? I've seen a really high increase of addons that are stuck in 2013, and a subsequent sharp drop in their ratings, deservedly. So is it safe to say the world has pulled the plug on our poor fox?
Thing is, I will never use any browser that comes with permanently un-removable "auto"-anything features. Firefox was the only trustworthy browser that I could tell to not forcibly record or change what I typed, especially on the address bar. However, extensions like these, the only safety equipment available for the internet, the only protection from the "bad guys" that still allowed some visibility as well as access into the proverbial "outside cyber-world," they are being thrown away for no good reason, as far as I can tell.
Why not stop beating about the bush, and axe every undersea networking cable, bomb every tier-1 ISP storage and server sites, and return to the world of the previous millennium? At least there we could still have information, advertising, and crime as separate, let alone omnipresent, entities which waltzed about in our world.

@chrisaljoudi @gorhill @Deathamns Can we get some more information on this leadership change? This seems like a strange set of circumstances.

@tlu1024 : I'm not a web developer or a programmer. I have no idea who else or where else, let alone how else, to ask about this web-crisis. If there even has been a declaration of a "web-crisis," that is.

@DomT4 I suggest sticking with Gorhill's version if you're using Chromium browsers because he is the creator. However, if you happen to use Safari, I suggest sticking with this version by Chris.

@SW1FT @DomT4 whichever you feel like — I just don't know what gorhill will be changing in his private version (or whether it's meant for public usage at all).
As a side note, I'd like to point out that all new features/updates are going to be made to this main project and will be included for Chromium as well.
In other words, Chromium development is for sure remaining active here.

Its sad to see @gorhill @Deathamns leave. I wish all the best for their future endeavors.
Its really amazing that gorhill created this wonderful extension (in a short span of time), and set a bar quite high on how an extension should be :) . Really i cannot live with out this extension!!
I hope all the fixes/enhancements gorhill make in the future for his branch, will come down to this firefox version..
Again, thanks to all the Dev Trio for your effort and contributions :).
All the Best @chrisaljoudi for your new role and responsibility. Thanks for your continued support.

Still can't understand the reason of diverge.
@gorhill says
and this
and stoped contributing here.
Just looks like somewhat disappointment in...
In what?
Coding? Spiritless Devs? Or all the people? Or etc.
Actually it's still utterly strange sequence of events and strange set of circumstances.
