Loading

• monsender : this application; sends the URL of the page you're currently browsing to monloader.
• monloader : downloader; fetches files and per-post metadata (via gallery-dl) and pushes them into a monbooru gallery over the REST API; also answers monbooru's reverse lookups (boorus, IQDB/SauceNAO, Hydrus PTR) and source refetches.
• monbooru : self-hosted booru; organizes, tags, and serves your collection.

Permissions

Required permissions are minimal : activeTab, scripting, storage, contextMenus (and sidePanel on Chrome). It reads a page only on an explicit click. The single host it sends anything to is the monloader URL you configure; with previews on, the scan chooser's thumbnails load from the sites hosting the images.

Install

Open the extension's options, set your monloader URL, and click connect to monloader; approve the pairing request in monloader under Settings -> pairing, in the monsender extension block.

See the monsender documentation for help, and PRIVACY.md.

Build

Build the per-browser bundles:

node build.js        # writes dist/chrome and dist/firefox
