Palnetify - Easily switch to Palnet.io from other steem ui's
Do you want an easy way to view posts on Palnet ?
I was sick of typing palnet.io in the address bar, so today I made this browser extension :
It's quick and easy to use, compatible with all of the main browsers and open source.
Install instructions
Unzip it somewhere safe, remember where you saved it.
For Firefox users:
Palnetify is now available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/palnetify/
For Chrome users:
Palnetify was just approved for the chrome store here - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/palnetify
Install instructions for Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Edge browsers can be found on github .
Once installed, just click the palnet icon in your toolbar to be redirected to palnet

Browser extensions are pretty insecure things. I'd recommend instead just creating a bookmark and have the url be the following:
That will do the same thing without installing anything.
Agreed, I also made this into a userscript and bookmarklet but I liked having the icon on my toolbar as an extension. Thanks for the code anyx :)
Nifty trick, done. No icon though :(
Browser extensions aren't that bad, if they are coded correctly, and said code is open to be audited to ensure it's not doing something... nasty.
The problem is that there isn't really enough security on the browser side. If an extension is open source, people can audit it...but there can still be hacks that cause malicious updates. Few people, if any, check every update either. If an extension checks one site's code, the browser doesn't even limit it to only that site. It lets it check every site, and then it's up to the extension to limit itself.
So, they are that bad, it's just that there hasn't been a major incident that's made it to the mainstream news, yet, due to the horrible security.
This is true, but it's no different for userscripts either. Those can have more privileges than browser extensions do. Plus, some browsers like Brave seem to have some pretty good sandboxing for extensions, and notifications each time the extension updates and needs more permissions. I'd be willing to trust a browser extension installed in Brave than I would a userscript. Course, I only ever have 5 browser extensions at most, LassPass, Printliminator, SteemKeys, Dissenter (for now), and Stylus. So it's not like I use dozens of them either.
So you mean using SteemConnect is more secure than Keychain extension?
Not necessarily. We might be screwed in different ways if either got hacked. I was talking about the technology behind browser plugins.
Used your script in Brave Browser and it works fantastic! Thank you for this @anyx!
This is nifty. Thanks for creating it!
Another usefull tool. Thanks !
Fantastic thanks 👍

Awesome, thanks Ausbit!
Hi @ausbitbank,
I just found out about you from one of our @steem-ph members.
I'm interested in reaching out to you and seeing if you'd like to collaborate and synergize with the building of Steem.ph and Steem.com.ph.
It's nice to see that you are still active, even though many Steemians are currently dormant.
P.S. I am also sending this message to @bearone, @romeskie & @donkeypong too 🖐️😀

Wow. This is great. This will be 100% helpful and useful and will reduce the stress and time also.
I just claimed and made my first post yesterday and it was already getting tiresome as you to keep changing tabs!!
This was so quick of you, thanks..
I will test it out later and probably give feedback!
That's definitely a big help! I personally just have my palnet bookmarked for easy access, same with steemit. But anyone would be able to make use of this tool.
Awesome extension, lol all these darn front ends can have you hopping sites like a crazy person. What would be cool is if one day we can see all our rewards overlayed on any front end.
