I plan to port the extension at least to Firefox.
If I have many requests from the community for Safari, I may have a look if that's doable. ;)
Any idea if you will implement a safari extension?
Not sure when I will do it but my plan is to try porting it to Safari and see if that's not to difficult to achieve and not to hard to maintain. If it takes reasonable efforts to do, I will make it official.
Note that I tried to do it for Firefox but I was blocked by technical limitation on Firefox side (Firefox accepts only Manifest V2, I use V3 , so I'll wait Firefox updates and won't put any efforts to make my extension backward compatible.

Any further thoughts on Safari?

I keep that in mind but I mostly concerned by the maintenance overhead of keeping 2 extensions up to date instead of just one. If anyone has experience with Chrome extension conversion to Safari and want to give a hand I am fully open to it ;)

I see Manifest V3 has now been implemented in Firefox:

Any chance we could get this extension ported to FF now? Would be awesome for us Firefox users.

It's not that simple because FF doesn't fully support the manifest v3.
I don't know who's right or wrong, but Chrome and FF don't support it in the same way.
That said, I intend to study the feasibility of a FF version :)

Great news everyone !

Tof63 joined me on this BGA Chrome Extension adventure and decided to bring his awesome work and merge it directly into my extension.

Tof63 added many interface enhancements, globally on BGA and more specifically for a ton of games.

The latest version (v1.7.1) that has been published this weekend added all this new features. You should have access to it without doing anything whenever the extension updates on your browser.

If you are not interested in any of those feature you always have the option to disable any through the interface.

For further info on the features you can check Tof63 initial thread.

Thanks again Tof63 for your great job. It give me some motivation boost to continue improving the extension ;)

Stay tuned !

Hello! I have submitted a PR to your github repo for the extension that enables it to work with Firefox. The changes needed are pretty clear in the PR, so feel free to either approve it and bring it into the repo or else use it as a template to study the effort required.

Thanks!
