I made a browser extension that fixes the Battlescreen feature in Battlelog
Hey guys, as most of you probably know, the Battlescreen in Battlelog hasn't worked for a while now. I decided to dig into the code of the Battlelog website to figure out what was going on. It turns out the code for the Battlescreen tries to connect to the game running on your computer in a way that's been blocked in years since by the browsers for security reasons. After some more digging I figured out a workaround and made a browser extension that makes Battlescreen work just fine again! I published it for the Firefox and Chrome extension stores:
Chrome Web Store (Edge and other browser users can install from here too)
All you have to do is install the extension and it'll just work, nothing else required. It doesn't even have to be on the same computer you're running the game on, it still works on a different computer on the same network. And unlike some previous suggestions to get it working I've seen posted, you don't have to install any old insecure browser versions or disable any security features. I've also posted the source code on GitLab if anyone is interested in seeing the code. Unfortunately I'm almost certain it won't do anything if you're playing on console, but you can still give it a try (and I'm actually curious to see if anything happens so I would appreciate if someone did try it).
