What is discord-widgets-extension?

This project is a browser extension that automates creating a Discord profile widget, a customizable badge Discord applications can show, based on a method originally described in a public guide by another developer. The original guide required copying and running a PowerShell command as a manual last step. This extension performs that step itself, so the whole process becomes a single click inside the browser instead. It is available as a Chrome, Edge, or Brave extension, with a Firefox version planned, and there is also a separate userscript version made by another contributor for tools like Tampermonkey. Once installed, you visit the Discord developer applications page, click a floating Widget Creator button the extension adds, and step through creating the widget, including solving a captcha and entering two-factor authentication if Discord asks for it. A floating on-page console shows each step as it happens, so problems are visible right away instead of hidden in a terminal. Beyond creating a new widget, the tool lets you export a widget's settings as JSON, import JSON to create a new widget or update an existing one, and refresh an existing widget with edited JSON. It also automatically restores a hidden Widget tab in Discord's developer portal that Discord normally clears on every page reload. Technically, the extension works by running part of its script inside the page itself to reach Discord's internal code, and routing the final network request through the extension's background script so the request's headers match what the original manual method produced. The README is explicit that this relies on undocumented, internal Discord behavior that could break if Discord changes it, and states plainly that automating account actions like this goes against the spirit of Discord's terms of service, describing the project as being shared for educational purposes and used at the user's own risk.
