Provide Safari version of Gitcoin Chrome Extension

[owocki]

requirements:

• a way (preferably an automated script) to build the current codebase for Safari.
• (just porting the existing codebase to Safari is not acceptable, as ongoing changes to upstream chrome extension will need to be merged downstream into Safari on an ongoing basis)
• deliver all assets for submission to safari extension store

As safari does not support web extensions, this seems like more work than comparable other browsers.
I would say you should rethink if you really need to support safari, as it seems a lot more work to support it than 35 $, based on cursory research. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternetWeb/Conceptual/SafariAppExtension_PG/ https://medium.com/@kanish671/web-extensions-are-the-new-thing-in-the-world-of-extensions-and-browser-add-ons-75b82cdc4e92

@step21 Is correct. Safari extensions can only be generated by Safari or doing some high-level hacking on OSX to generate it from our source.

Safari is the new IE.

is there another browser that's more hacker-friendly that you recommend i take the $$$ from this bounty and put it into?

Opera maybe? Vivaldi is also nice but it just uses chrome store stuff directly.

[owocki]

wast chatting with @rafaelfragosom on slack and he recommended MS Edge

[orafaelfragoso]

I've made a comment on #1 about that. I'm working on the cross-browser solution and Opera and Edge will be supported, as well as Brave, Chrome and Firefox.

Vivaldi may be added to the list, I'm not sure how they handle the Extensions API, but once I get the heavy stuff out of the way, adding new browsers will be a piece of cake.

[step21]

@rafaelfragosom Vivaldi just accesses chrome store. So no need to worry about it.

[orafaelfragoso]

@step21 Perfect, minus one browser to care.
