How to Install this extension

Requirement:

This extension relys upon the PageSigner companion extension, you will be prompted to install it when attempting to use SearchShare. The companion extension can be found here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pagesigner-helper-app/oclohfdjoojomkfddjclanpogcnjhemd

Search Share works with Chromium-based browsers (e.g. Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave, Google Chrome)

Install Instructions:

1. Clone or download (and extract) the Search Share extension.

• Clone: clone https://github.com/rjaus/search-share-extension.git
• Download: https://github.com/rjaus/search-share-extension/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

2. Open Chromium

3. Go to chrome://extensions/ and enable "Developer Mode" (top right hand corner)

4. Click "Load Unpacked"

5. Select the directory where you cloned / extracted the extension

6. Now install the PageSigner Companion app (Chrome App): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pagesigner-helper-app/oclohfdjoojomkfddjclanpogcnjhemd

Features:

This extension is a modified version of the PageSigner extension by TLS Notary. It has most of the existing features plus a few more to aid the specific use case of sharing search results.

• upon generating a proof, the proof is immediately uploaded to the Search Share API, for the purpose of sharing publicly.
• The proof is generated for the relevant page/request dependant on the search engine used. This is only relevant to DDG, which retrieves the search results via a JS request

Permissions:

The extension requests '<all_urls>' permissions which is overkill for it's needs. If you're uncomfortable with that, replace '<all_urls>' with the following. Replace the google url with your desired country edition as required.

"https://.duckduckgo.com/",

"https://search.brave.com/*",

"https://bing.com/*",

"https://google.com/*"

Untested, but it should work. Check the console logs for permission errors, you may need to play with the wildcards. (note: you should be watching the console.logs of background.html, accessed via the chromium extensions settings page)
