ubuntu-copy-docs's Introduction

Ubuntu Copy Docs

Browser extension that adds a link to copy docs to Ubuntu and Canonical websites.

Install

Firefox

Get Ubuntu Copy Docs from Firefox Add-ons.

Chrome

Get Ubuntu Copy Docs from Chrome Web Store.

How to add it to the site

This extension looks for specific meta data in the page HTML.

If you want to link your page to a copy doc you need to add a <meta name="copydoc" content="..."> tag to the page HTML head, where the content is the URL of the copy doc.

For example:

<meta name="copydoc" content="https://docs.google.com/document/d/example123">

Currently the extension is configured only on some domains (including ubuntu.com, canonical.com, snapcraft.io, maas.io). If you would like your domain added to those file a bug or create a PR with it.

Consider updating to Manifest v3

New version of extension Manifest is available, extensions based on Manifest v2 may become deprecated and eventually unpublished at some point in the future.

As we are not using any specific extension APIs this should hopefully be straightforward (possibly just a version number change).

thanks!

The meta tags seem to trigger google login on firefox

By visiting this site in ubuntu.com which contains these tags, I got warned by my password manager that credentials to google.com were requested (the wording was somehow weird), here is a screenshot
by looking at the source the only two google related pieces of code were the re-captcha (which I have encountered in countless sites that do not trigger this) and the meta tag for this add-on:

<meta name="copydoc" content="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4s80tIYQW4BMjNiMGFmNzQtNDkxZC00YmQ0LWJiZWUtNTk2YThlY2MzZmJh">
  <meta name="google-site-verification" content="ddh2iq7ZuKf1LpkL_gtM_T7DkKDVD7ibq6Ceue4a_3M">

It would seem to me that the browser, when the extension is not present, tries somehow to access the link? (the link mentioned in there requires authorization). Now this is not especially bad but it might lead to sites using it to be flagged as suspicious when it happens? perhaps using a either encoded text to avoid pre-fetch by eager browsers or a CDATA section?

Cheers.
