Summary
How it works
API data
The raw data for the different Project Fugu 🐡 APIs is curated in a spreadsheet, which is then turned into JavaScript, so keeping the list of APIs updated is hopefully a straightforward task.
API detection
The extension monitors the requests a page makes via the chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener() API. Each response body, grouped by main frame, JavaScript, and Web App Manifest response bodies, is then run through a set of regular expressions like /navigator.hid.requestDevice\s*(/g to determine if the code hints at a Project Fugu 🐡 API potentially being used.
Browser support detection
Most Project Fugu 🐡 APIs are easily feature-detectable by checking for the existence of interfaces or properties, for example, as in 'BarcodeDetector' in window. Other APIs require a ServiceWorkerRegistration, but luckily the popup window in Manifest V3 extensions uses a service worker, so it can be used via an IIFE that can be run in the client or the service worker. An example is (async () => 'periodicSync' in (await navigator.serviceWorker?.ready || self.registration))().
The support categories are listed below:
