Firebreath on Edge

[adrian...@unifiedpost.com]

Hello,

Did someone manage to port a Firebreath plugin on Edge?
Or is someone trying/planing to do so ? ( we may learn from each others attempts to do so and reach Nirvana in the end :) )

Wish you an extraordinary day !

I haven't, but supposedly this is the same "native-messaging" supported by Chrome. 

The part I don't like about NM in Edge is  that ""the native messaging host will need to be implemented using the Universal Windows Platform." because I won't be able to reuse my native host (Win32) that already is working for Chrome.

BTW Firefox 52 already deprecated NPAPI but already supports NM.

Firefox 52 works great with the FireBreath 2.0 branch; I have not yet
looked into NM on edge, I didn't realize that it required a special
platform / wouldn't work with an existing native host. In theory if
you can write C++ stuff to work with NM on edge then it should be
possible to make FireBreath 2 work with NM on edge via FireWyrm,
though permissions might be an issue.

I'm still trying to figure things out but from my understanding one should be able to reuse the Win32 code ( as a "Desktop Bridge component" ).
"Automatic conversion" (here) did not really work for me and also loosing the installer all together will dramatically reduce the appx size so at this point  I packaged the Firebreath plugin manually.  
(Not sure if I'll still do it like this or in the end I'll do it via Visual Studio because of the need of the UWP app.)
One should create a UWP app ( with AppService ) and this will be able to communicate with the existing  plugin Firebreath /"Desktop Bridge component" because there are packaged together.
