Claude 3ef5df7efb feat: add Firefox support with cross-browser compatibility
Add manifest.firefox.json for Firefox MV3 (gecko ID, background
scripts instead of service_worker, options_ui). Introduce
browser-polyfill.js shim so all modules use whichever API is
available (browser.* or chrome.*). Add build.sh to target
chrome, firefox, or both.

# Silent Send
A Chrome extension that intercepts personal information and substitutes it with user-defined replacements before sending to Claude.ai.
## How it works
1. **You define mappings** — e.g. "John Smith" → "Alex Demo", "john@gmail.com" → "alex@example.com"
2. **You type normally** — you see your real text while composing
3. **On send, it swaps** — the extension intercepts the API request and replaces real values with substitutes
4. **Badge shows count** — the extension icon shows how many substitutions were made
5. **Reveal mode** — optionally translates Claude's responses back to your real data
## How to verify it's working
- **Badge count** on the extension icon shows substitutions per page
- **Activity tab** in the popup shows a timestamped log of every substitution
- **Test tab** in the popup lets you type text and see the before/after diff
- **Reveal mode** (eye icon) toggles showing real vs substitute data in responses
- **Browser DevTools** → Console shows `[Silent Send] Substituted N value(s)` messages
## Installation
### Chrome (Developer Mode)
1. Clone this repo
2. Run `./build.sh chrome` (or just use the root directory directly)
3. Open `chrome://extensions/`
4. Enable **Developer mode** (top right)
5. Click **Load unpacked** → select `dist/chrome/` (or root dir)
6. Navigate to claude.ai — the extension is active
### Firefox
1. Clone this repo
2. Run `./build.sh firefox`
3. Open `about:debugging`**This Firefox**
4. Click **Load Temporary Add-on** → select `dist/firefox/manifest.json`
5. Navigate to claude.ai — the extension is active
For persistent Firefox installation, package and sign via `web-ext`:
```
cd dist/firefox && npx web-ext sign --api-key=YOUR_KEY --api-secret=YOUR_SECRET
```
No store required for either browser in developer mode.
## Architecture
```
manifest.json — Extension manifest (Manifest V3)
src/
background/
service-worker.js — Badge management, logging coordination
content/
injector.js — Content script (isolated world) — loads config, bridges messaging
content.js — Page script (main world) — hooks fetch(), does substitution
content.css — Visual indicators (highlights, reveals)
popup/
popup.html/css/js — Quick access: add mappings, view activity, test mode
options/
options.html/css/js — Full mapping management, import/export, settings
lib/
substitution-engine.js — Core find/replace logic
storage.js — Browser storage wrapper
browser-polyfill.js — Chrome/Firefox API compatibility
```
## Privacy
- All data stays local in browser storage
- No external servers, no telemetry, no analytics
- The extension only activates on claude.ai
