I originally created this extension so I could watch my wife’s TikToks without needing to install TikTok myself. I decided to make it available for everyone based on many threads I’ve seen complaining about this same issue (ex. https://www.reddit.com/r/Tiktokh...). So far feedback has been positive, but let me know if you have any problems setting it up! Similar extensions could be made for other browsers as it's a basic js/css file at its core. Hope you enjoy!

@kylejohnsonkj Love how a simple extension like this can make life so much easier. It's great to see something built from a personal need that resonates with others.

@helen9 I have not looked into the research but am sure it would be fascinating! Sharing content is such an effective way of expressing your interests to others. Plus it's hard to deny sharing that little dopamine rush with people who you know would enjoy it too. :)

Interesting – I am watching closely that drama around TikTok, the US ban and potentially the Canadian ban. Do you think that TikTok will "be legal" in these states? And how can this fact influence your tool? Would it be good/bad for you or without the effect?

@busmark_w_nika If the TikTok app gets banned I'm sure the web version would go too. I have nothing riding on this as it's a free extension, so if it can help people connect with others for the time being that's okay with me!
