Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Store install is instant, local unsigned install on Firefox needs a non-standard Firefox build (Developer Edition, Nightly, or ESR).
Search Letterboxd is a small browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that adds one convenience: highlight a movie title, or any other text, on any webpage, right-click, and choose a menu option to instantly open a search for that text on Letterboxd, the film-logging and review site. The extension cleans up the selected text before running the search, and the README states it does not do any tracking, analytics, or data collection. It is explicitly not affiliated with or endorsed by Letterboxd, the trademark belongs to its own owners. Most people would install it from the Chrome Web Store or the Firefox Add-on Store, where it works like any other installed extension with no setup needed. The README also documents how to load it locally from source instead. On Chrome, that means opening the extensions page, turning on developer mode, and loading the project's chrome folder as an unpacked extension. On Firefox, running an unsigned local copy permanently requires a version of Firefox that allows bypassing Mozilla's signature requirement, such as Developer Edition, Nightly, or the ESR release, along with zipping the firefox folder's contents and installing that archive through the add-on settings after disabling the signature check. This is a small, single-purpose utility rather than a library or framework, aimed at anyone who regularly looks up films they see mentioned while browsing.
A browser extension that lets you right-click any highlighted movie title to instantly search for it on Letterboxd, with no tracking or data collection.
