FAQ

Does Min support extensions?

Min is based on Electron, which does not include the necessary support for extensions. While we're interested in supporting extensions in the future, doing so is a very large project that requires a lot of time and ongoing effort to maintain. If this is something you're interested in working on, let us know!

Min does support userscripts, which can do some of the same things extensions can - see the linked page for a list of available scripts and instructions on how to write your own.

I can't sign in to my Google account.

Sometimes, when you attempt to sign in to your Google account, you may see an error message that says, "Couldn't sign you in. This browser or app may not be secure."

Google sometimes blocks browsers that it does not recognize, which includes Min. It is sometimes possible to sign in by changing your user agent to one that matches a supported browser. To do this, look here for a supported user agent. Open the Min settings, check "Use a custom user agent", and paste in the user agent you would like to use. Reload the Google sign in page, and sign in. Once you have successfully signed in, disable "use a custom user agent".

How can I contribute to Min?

If you'd like to update or add a translation, see the instructions here.

If you'd like to add a new feature, it's best if you open an issue on GitHub first, or make a post on Discord. We can help with determining how the feature fits into Min's UI and what the best way to implement it is. The Architecture wiki page provides an overview of how Min's code is structured and common APIs you may want to use.
