Ok, the title confused me for a second.
Why would there need to be a “current URL” block, when you can just make a variable with the URL? Same thing with the “page title” block.
Also, don't school computers block notifications?

I mean, you're allowed to use Wikipedia as an image host. why wikipedia???? they have some inappropiate articles
Besides, it's the same thing as putting inappropriate stuff in the project. Just report the project.

Maybe change the title so people don't think you mean like extensions for the browser at first (since that's what I thought it was too)?
You could probably change Browser to Internet or something.

Cool idea, but it would be too easy to install a .txt file to someone's device that contains inaproppriate stuff, or to link to a wikipedia article that also has inaproppriate stuff. With this extension you could also link to a private chat room, which Scratch doesn't allow or like.

AHEM
Before you say “no support, this could get annoying.” well, report the project and maybe they can add a new report topic called “This person is abusing the browser extension”.

I think the Scratch Team would be constantly receiving reports because users were linking to inappropriate files, which I know they would find annoying. Maybe if they ever add a filter for stuff WITHIN the project, this extension would work better and much easier.Cool idea, but it would be too easy to install a .txt file to someone's device that contains inaproppriate stuff, or to link to a wikipedia article that also has inaproppriate stuff.

(#1)Prepare for troubledisplay notification with title: [hi] and message: [message] during [3] seconds and [URL] as icon :: extension
and make it
foreverAlso before you hit me with your “don't no support for it being annoying” quote — An extra report option wouldn't resolve much, that would probably be like adding gasoline to literal flames since most people will be curious probably if you make it obvious — Plus, you have the “Other” and “Something else” report options either way. Not to mention that it's literally spam, already a thing against Guidelines.
Seriously though, this'll just pile even more reports for ST to deal with.
(#1)So you want to allow MHT (Late edit: also known as MHTML) which had a 0-day exploit quite awhile ago (around 2019~) and from what I know still allows unwittingly sharing information.save [hello] as [hi.txt] :: extension // SUPPORTED FILE TYPES: .txt .mhtml
That's a straw to me.
No support.
EDIT: Really though, all this does is pile spam — You don't need an extra report option when you already have a way of reporting it since it's quite literally spam, which is against Terms of Use.
And that's just only mentioning the report option.

What if someone does:
“no support, this could get annoying.” is not a valid response to this argument.
forever // Wastes memory.?
save [hello] as [hi.txt] :: extension
end

But, it would just keep popping up with the thing that asks where you want it to be. What if someone does:forever // Wastes memory.?

Thanks for the feedback!(#1)Prepare for troubledisplay notification with title: [hi] and message: [message] during [3] seconds and [URL] as icon :: extension

I will remove some of this, thanks for letting me know! So you want to allow MHT which had a 0-day exploit quite awhile ago (around 2019~) and from what I know still allows unwittingly sharing information.

Still takes up memory and what if they have a place all files downloaded automatically go to.But, it would just keep popping up with the thing that asks where you want it to be. What if someone does:forever // Wastes memory.?

To summarize:
Pros:
Cons:
I can go into detail on any of these ponts if you want, but the long and short of it is no.
Pros:
- I wan it
Cons:
- Useless
- Enables rule breaking
- Ambiguous blocks
- Excessively long blocks
- Allows remixing to be blocked
- Allows malware to be created on scratch
- Would have to make scratch support syntax errors
- Hard to implement
