Making your own

Want to customize this extension with a different YouTuber or personality? Here's how:

1. Fork this repository and or clone it to your local machine
2. Replace the images:
   • Replace the images in the images/ folder with your own (numbered sequentially: 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, etc. Leave no gaps in the numbering.) You can use websites such as Photoroom to remove the background of your images, and websites like compresspng to compress your images.
   • Update icon.png with your own icon
3. Update the manifest:
   • Edit manifest.json and manifest v3.json to change the extension name, version number and description
4. Handle text images (optional):
   • If any images contain text that shouldn't be flipped, add them to images/flip_blacklist.json
   • Create alternative flipped versions in images/textFlipped/ if needed
   • If you have no use for the flip blacklist, you should delete the flip_blacklist.json file.
5. Test locally: Load the extension in developer mode in your preferred browser. This is important. Do not upload broken extensions!
6. Build the extension: If you have 7-Zip installed, run build.bat to build the extension. This will create a zip file in the root directory of the repository. (The 7-Zip dependency is unfortunately required because Windows' built in Compress-Archive feature is completely busted for some reason). If packing manually, only include images/, manifest.json, icon.png, settings.html, settings.js and mrbeastify.js. When packing for Chrome, use the manifest v3.json file, but rename it to manifest.json.
7. Upload to extension stores: You can upload your customized version to Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, etc.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge support has been ended, and the extension has been delisted. This is because Edge is consistently the slowest at reviewing extensions, constantly rejects my submissions with vague reasons why, and are all-round terrible. Download the Chrome version instead.
