HS Archived: Preserving Homestuck's Flash Content
HS Archived is a Chrome extension developed by wakraya that aims to preserve the Flash and HTML5 content on the Homestuck website. This extension replaces obsolete Flash, low-quality YouTube videos, and HTML5 versions of animated content with high-quality videos. By injecting these videos into the website, HS Archived ensures that the original experience of Homestuck is maintained and even improved in some aspects.
With improved and updated videos for each original Flash page, HS Archived also includes links to pages that would have been linked through Flash but can no longer be embedded as YouTube videos. The extension has been tested on Windows 7 and 8 with the most updated version of Chrome, and it appears to work flawlessly, aside from some minor lag on content-intensive pages. Any bugs or glitches can be reported to the developer.
It's worth noting that while the extension was intended to be available for Firefox as well, unique problems in Firefox prevented its release. Overall, HS Archived provides a simple and quick solution for preserving and enhancing the Homestuck website's content. However, it's important to be aware that recommended videos cannot be turned off on YouTube, which may lead to potential spoilers in the thumbnails. Whether you're a fan of Homestuck or simply interested in this preservation effort, HS Archived is a valuable tool to enhance your browsing experience.
