Hi everyone, I made this extension to view unlimited number of Quora pages without having to sign up by removing the sign up popup. I don't know what I did wrong, but it isn't working. My browser also doesn't give any errors.


Here's the code:

manifest.json
{ "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Quora Unlimited", "version": "1.0", "description": "This extension allows you to view unlimited number of Quora pages a day without needing an account.", "icons": { "16": "Icons/quoraLogo16.png", "32": "Icons/quoraLogo32.png", "48": "Icons/quoraLogo48.png", "128": "Icons/quoraLogo128.png" }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["https://www.quora.com/*"], "js": ["JavaScript/signUpRemove.js"], "css": ["CSS/blurRemove.css"], "run_at": "document_end" } ] }
signUpRemove.js
const elements = document.getElementsByClassName("q-flex qu-alignItems--center qu-justifyContent--center qu-overflow--hidden qu-zIndex--blocking_wall"); while (elements.length > 0) elements[0].remove();
blurRemove.css
.q-box qu-overflow--hidden { box-sizing: border-box; position: none !important; inset: 0px; filter: blur(0px) !important; }

And here is the structure of my folder/directory:
Quora Unlimited ├ CSS | └ blurRemove.css ├ Icons | ├ quoraLogo16.png | ├ quoraLogo32.png | ├ quoraLogo48.png | └ quoraLogo128.png ├ JavaScript | └ signUpRemove.js └ manifest.json

Does anyone have any idea why the extension isn't working?

Thanks.

Ok It's working now.
Rather than deleting the sign up popup with JavaScript, I just hid it using CSS.

Here is my new code if any of you want to see it:

manifest.json
JSON:
{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "Quora Unlimited",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "This extension allows you to view unlimited number of Quora pages a day without needing an account.",
  "icons": {
    "16": "Icons/quoraLogo16.png",
    "32": "Icons/quoraLogo32.png",
    "48": "Icons/quoraLogo48.png",
    "128": "Icons/quoraLogo128.png"
  },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["https://www.quora.com/*"],
      "css": ["CSS/removeOverlayPopup.css"],
      "run_at": "document_end"
    }
  ]
}

removeOverlayPopup.css...

  ]
}

removeOverlayPopup.css
CSS:
.q-box.qu-overflow--hidden {
  box-sizing: border-box !important;
  inset: 0px !important;
  filter: blur(0px) !important;
  position: relative !important;
}

.q-flex.qu-alignItems--center.qu-justifyContent--center.qu-overflow--hidden.qu-zIndex--blocking_wall {
  display: none !important;
}
