Framewok extension cross browser extension


I was evaluating cross-browser extension development (IE, Chrome, Safari and Firefox supported browsers): I was looking for a cross-browser development framework to avoid code duplication and simplify the build process.
I looked through this question and I visited the suggested websites: every company seems to have stopped working on the product.
I read this article article whose conclusion seems to be dissuaded developers from creating cross-browser. So, I have a few questions:
- Do any of you recommend a cross-browser development framework that works for the purpose outlined above?
- Is there a reason the above framework is no longer supported?
- Has anyone found a more efficient way to pursue the same goal without developing a browser extension?

Thanks a
lot , Daniele

I haven't tested it yet, but Firefox WebExtensions seems like a better choice. Yes, you have to make some changes to the code , but usually it's not so bad.



The WebExtensions APIs are inspired by the existing Google Chrome Extension API and are supported by Opera, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Works to standardize these existing APIs, as well as suggest new ones! Our goal is to make extensions available between browsers as the pages they view and powerful enough to allow people to customize their browsers according to their needs.
