[fr] reset button

[throwaway242685]

hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to implement a "Reset" button to reset everything back to default?

something like this?

TEST FIRST! Do not do this in your main browser profile!

Add/Create a new "Browser Profile"
Install the extension there and import your settings then:

What I use is:
Go to "Edit Redirects"
Press "F12"
Select the "Console" tab.
Paste:
chrome.storage.local.clear(function() { var error = chrome.runtime.lastError; if (error) { console.error(error); } }); chrome.storage.sync.clear();

If all is good, try it on your main browser profile :)

@Gitoffthelawn sorry for bothering you, but are there any plans to implement something like this?

[Gitoffthelawn]

@throwaway242685 It's no bother. :) There are currently no such plans, but I think it's a good idea (and clearly you do too!). So, if someone implements it, we can merge it for release. There is a big challenge with publishing releases right now though... please see Gitoffthelawn/Contact-Gitoffthelawn#8 for the status.

what would be the next logical step if that guy never replies?

fork both the repository and the extension under a new name?

perhaps a fork would feel as a new fresh start, in a good way... you know?

I remember that Privacy Redirect
also became inactive years ago, and Libredirect emerged as a fork, which it's still pretty active to this day.

a good name for the fork could be "Simple Redirect" :-)

I'm holding out hope that @gzur will reply.

If not, a fork will be required, which will create confusion... so I'm hoping it won't be needed.

Although any name would be possible for such a fork, I was thinking something that would come alphabetically before Redirector so people could find the fork easier. Maybe Redirect It?

what about (Simple) Redirector?

having the first word between parenthesis would make the extension show up first, right?

I was thinking in the word "Simple" because it's quite common to see FOSS apps (on F-Droid) using that word on their names.

eg. there's this app called Just (Video) Player: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.brouken.player/

but... of course, that's your decision.

some other ideas:

• (Just) Redirect
• (Simple) Redirect
• (Simple) Redirector
