This section will show you how to write bypasses for FastForward, which you can then submit in a Pull Request!

---

While the Custom Bypass section in the extension settings is perfectly fine for making a lone bypass, making many bypasses will require you to have these skills and tools:

• Basic knowledge of JavaScript and HTML
• IDE/Code Editor
  • Visual Studio Code is an excellent free IDE for web development
  • Webstorm is a paid IDE for web development that has many excellent features (free for students)
• Internet browser which allows sideloading extensions
  • Google Chrome and Firefox Developer Edition are preferred because these are based on the 2 types of browsers that we create the extension for
• Knowledge about Git and Github (PRs, squash and rebase commits, Github Actions, etc.)
• Knowledge about different coding styles used in web development
• Node.Js
• Git (MUST HAVE)
• Github Desktop (OPTIONAL but nice if you are not accustomed to Git on the command line)
• A personal fork of this repository
• OPTIONAL but useful: A virtual machine to test new bypasses (any development versions of FastForward will not affect your main extension) and to protect your PC against any unsavory sites
  • VMWare Workstation Player is a free virtual machine software that works well for testing
  • Windows Sandbox on Pro versions of Windows 10/11 works well for a clean slate every time

• Make sure to follow the code style set in CODE_STYLE.md
• DO NOT make bypasses for NSFW sites, this could remove our extension from web stores; we will not merge bypasses for NSFW sites
• Before making a bypass, make sure that you aren't creating a bypass that's already there (Ctrl + F)
  • For mv2 bypasses, check the injection-script.js file
  • For mv3 bypasses, check the bypasses folder
