sharkZapper

an unoffical browser extension to control Grooveshark

Introduction

sharkZapper started as a quickly made extension for Chrome to control Grooveshark HTML5/Javascript interface in a way that was previously not possible due to the flash interface. It was released for free to the Chrome Web Store and lives at: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dcaneijaapiiojfmgmdjeapgpapbjohb

Supported Browsers

Currently sharkZapper only supports Google Chrome/Chromium browsers, however there was some progress to also support Firefox and Safari. Firefox and Safari-related files may be present or visible in the source repository but please note that at the moment it is completely untested, unstable and incomplete.
