Allows malware to be created on scratch
Maybe if someone is using the extension, below the notes and creits box, it could say “This project is using the browser extension, please be safe!”

Can you explain further?

Not hard, you can just use css or html to display like a popup

Better warning: “This project is using the browser extension, your device might catch on fire if you run the project”.

That sounds really informal, and isn't true in many cases: your device won't literally catch on fire, it'll just be hard/impossible to use if malware occurs.

It’s pretty much discouraged by mentions, but not in notices for projects. Instead of the “your device might catch on fire” scenario, how about it says formally “your project may experience performance issues” because it’s less confusing and really informs the user that they might experience an issue while using it.

Anyway, this would be a little useful, but I don’t know about much of wikipedia because of most of it’s inappropriate articles.

Couldn't you use this to download viruses onto someone's computer?

How would these be able to add viruses?

(current URL) // Has a checkbox next to it.

(page title) // tells you the current page title and checkbox next to it

< field [name] exists in current URL? :: extension

copy [text] to clipboard :: extension

< can display notifications? :: extension

These aren't useful since they will just report information that is already easily available

Computers have limited clipboard storage, and your clipboard data will be lost and will be spammed with the text put in the text input (did you know some clipboard data is important?). Also, if someone puts something inappropriate in the text input, the user will probably have a nightmare lol

This is most likely a dupe. Either way, it's still a bad idea since it could lead to browser exploits and other things. You can, however, use Snap! with a custom JavaScript function if you really want. Just ensure you enable JavaScript first.

Here's the code:

const el = document.createElement('textarea');
  el.value = x;
  document.body.appendChild(el);
  el.select();
  document.execCommand('copy');
  document.body.removeChild(el);

Just stop the project.

Unless scratch expects 5 year olds to be able to properly handle CORS this would be basically useless

Actually this could lead to a type of private chat, no?

Nevermind this would probably influence private chat in a way

No support. Scratch shouldn't have this. It's a children's programming language, this will both make things too complicated and I think it's not needed for games made in Scratch.

If you're really yearning for more advanced Scratch blocks, use Snap! or TurboWarp's extensions.

No Support.
The reason I do not support this is because people need privacy + I'm sure there would be people abusing certain features (copy to clipboard the most). Imagine you were just playing your favourite project and then all of a sudden you needed to copy something, and the game randomly copies something else, you paste it and its not what you needed/it was really bad (you accidentally sent it too). Very unlikely scenario, but could happen. Also, devices have a limited amount of storage.

adding onto this even if its obvious enough, this is true. Memory usage matters.
Saying this as a person who has nothing except offline turbowarp & scratch and a bunch of worthless folders i use for memes
