Mv3: Provide an easy way for users to add custom bypasses on the unpacked version

[NotAProton]

From: #1061

[Unknown78]

@NotAProton In pull request #921, some features are removed:

• Removed preflight bypasses
• Removed referrer cache and bypass_clipboard
• Removed updating of bypass definitions
• Removed custom bypasses
• Removed Ace

Since you said this is good idea, you might as well bring it back everything again on the load unpacked version of MV-3. In case any browser drop support for MV-2, such that it won't be load at all. That will bring functional differences of MV-2 and MV-3 to none and everyone will be happy.

---

In my vision, there could be 3 variants of this extension:

1. FastForward MV-2 Unpacked with Full Features
2. FastForward MV-3 Unpacked with Full Features
3. FastForward MV-3 Web Store with Limited Features

While 1 and 2 are functionally equivalent, 3 is a subset of 2.

The download link for FastForward MV-2 Unpacked Version is missing.
I've tried the latest Unpacked 2314, but it is MV-3. I couldn't add custom bypass.
The latest one I have for Unpacked MV-2 is 2285.

Also, the link for linkvertise.js on INSTALLING.MD is missing.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FastForwardTeam/FastForward/main/src/linkvertise.js
The content should be like this:

domainBypass(/linkvertise\.(com|net)|link-to\.net/, () => {
    if (window.location.href.toString().indexOf("?r=") != -1) {
        const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
        const r = urlParams.get('r')
        safelyNavigate(atob(decodeURIComponent(r)));
    }

    const rawOpen = XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open;

    XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = function() {
        this.addEventListener('load', data => {
            if (data.currentTarget.responseText.includes('tokens')) {
                const response = JSON.parse(data.currentTarget.responseText);
                if (!response.data.valid)
                    return insertInfoBox('Please solve the captcha, afterwards we can immediately redirect you');

                const target_token = response.data.tokens['TARGET'];
                const ut = localStorage.getItem("X-LINKVERTISE-UT");
                const linkvertise_link = location.pathname.replace(/\/[0-9]$/, "");


                fetch(`https://publisher.linkvertise.com/api/v1/redirect/link/static${linkvertise_link}?X-Linkvertise-UT=${ut}`).then(r => r.json()).then(json => {
                    if (json?.data.link.target_type !== 'URL') {
                        return insertInfoBox('Due to copyright reasons we are not bypassing linkvertise stored content (paste, download etc)');
                    }
                    if (json?.data.link.id) {
                        const json_body = {
                            serial: btoa(JSON.stringify({
                                timestamp:new Date().getTime(),
                                random:"6548307",
                                link_id:json.data.link.id
                            })),
                            token: target_token
                        }
                        fetch(`https://publisher.linkvertise.com/api/v1/redirect/link${linkvertise_link}/target?X-Linkvertise-UT=${ut}`, {
                            method: "POST",
                            body: JSON.stringify(json_body),
                            headers: {
                                "Accept": 'application/json',
                                "Content-Type": 'application/json'
                            }
                        }).then(r=>r.json()).then(json=>{
                            if (json?.data.target) {
                                safelyNavigate(json.data.target)
                            }
                        })
                    }
                })
            }
        });
        rawOpen.apply(this, arguments);
    }
})

Its not missing, its just under a new branch, and not updated on installing guide.

@princessmortix Could you please show where is the unpacked MV-2 of 2314? I've tried to look for it and couldn't find it.

[lostdusty]

Extension builds can be found at Actions tab, latest MV2 build: https://github.com/FastForwardTeam/FastForward/actions/runs/6282874124

[lostdusty]

You might wanna check: https://github.com/FastForwardTeam/FastForward/releases/tag/manifest-v2-release

[Unknown78]

@princessmortix What do you mean by the final and last version? Why did you choose to discontinue unpacked MV-2 while the unpacked MV-3 is less featured?

I am not the only on this project.. the release was made by the owner (bs_zombie), and this decision was made by her. We were barely able to handle the extension with one manifest, and now with two it was too hard to handle.
We need to help to translate mv2 bypasses to mv3.

Could this perhaps be pinned or help-wanted'd?
