I also realized that shortly after I gave up yesterday night :)
So I pushed 7b5ec02933 on the production website and it's working now.

Ok, so let's not do that...
But then it very painful to work on the code, test, and debug because
I'm pushing new versions on the production website every time. I know
how to edit HTML and CSS through the Firefox developer tools but I don't
know how to do something similar for the JavaScript on the page.
How do you test your changes to dave_2.js locally?

I wired that into the HTML page and it's working. Cooool!
>>> 2. We now update the $FILENAME with actual filename.
This works great! I updated a bit the HTML to avoid hard coding an
English string in the JavaScript code (9dd2fe1a31).
>>> 3. We have ported the version update logic from original extension i.e.
>>> it will find element with id '#extension-version' on page and will compare
>>> its text with installed version of extension and will set `document.
>>> documentElement.dataset.extension` accordingly (either 'ok' or 'old').
I wired this logic into the CSS (73cec4b28c).
It works when the version of the extension is up-to-date (1.0 or 1.1)
but it doesn't work when the version is outdated (0.9). I can see that
data-extension is still set to "ok". See screenshot.
Can you check what's wrong here?
I see that you ported the code from Giorgio in your extension but that
it involves quite complex string parsing, so instead of struggling with
it, I think it would be fine if you prefer replacing it with comparing
two floating point numbers. We don't need a very evolved version scheme
for the extension.
Also, I initially tried to the display logic in dave_2.js since it's
where we already have all the rest but I didn't know how to do that
(249e6f2153). Do you know if that would be possible? But it's working
now (at least for up-to-date version) so we shouldn't spend too much
time on that; it might just ease a bit maintenance in the future.
>>> 4. We have removed the icon. Note that Chrome still shows a greyed out

Good!
>>> 5. Yeah, the extension is ready for chrome too. To install, follow the

>>> extensions/getstarted#unpacked
Wow, it works!!!
>>> 6. We have changed the logic to run the extension on all web pages of
>>> tails.boum.org which have an element with id 'download-and-verify'
>>> present in DOM
Adjusted the download page accordingly and it works.
We're almost there! Now I'll investigate how to upload to the Firefox
and Chrome stores would work and if I can do that myself.
