| $ ### This is a rough estimate of the values of the "contexts" array in extensions, | |
| $ ### presumably used as values in the contextMenus/menus.create/update API. | |
| $ ### First, we check whether the number of reported occurrences is significant, | |
| $ ### by checking the number of "contexts:" strings that are not followed by an array. | |
| $ ### As the first checks show, only 10% of the matches are not arrays, | |
| $ ### (so they are variables, expressions or not part of the menus API). | |
| $ ### The other 90% are arrays, and significant. | |
| $ ### LIMITATIONS | |
| $ ### This analysis only accounts for object literals, and not for dynamic assignments, | |
| $ ### such as foo.contexts = [...]. | |
| $ ### METHODOLOGY | |
| $ ### First, download all public extensions from AMO, using https://github.com/cr/webextaware | |
| $ ### At the time of analysis (27 july 2018), there are 15.2k extensions. | |
| $ ### I selected all extensions whose manifest.json contained "menus" or "contextMenus" (quotes included). | |
| $ ### The directory structure generated by "webextaware unzip" is number/hash/hash/{manifest.json,...} | |
| $ ### The number of unique extenson listings that use the contextMenus/menus APIs | |
| $ ls -ld * | wc -l | |
| 2096 | |
| $ ### The number of extensions (including multiple versions) that use the APIs | |
| $ ls -ld */* | wc -l | |
| 2992 | |
| $ ### The number of extensions where "contexts:" is not followed by an array. | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K[^\[\s]' -l | grep -oP '^[0-9]+\/[a-f0-9]+' | sort | uniq | wc -l | |
| 230 | |
| $ ### The number of files where "contexts:" is not followed by an array | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K[^\[\s]' -l | wc -l | |
| 257 | |
| $ ### The number of occurrence of "contexts:" not followed by an array | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K[^\[\s]' | tr '\0' '\n' | wc -l | |
| 836 | |
| $ ### The number of files where "contexts:" is followed by an array | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K\[\s*[^\]]+\]' -l | wc -l | |
| 2463 | |
| $ ### The number of extensions where "contexts:" is followed by an array | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K\[\s*[^\]]+\]' -l | grep -oP '^[0-9]+\/[a-f0-9]+' | sort | uniq | wc -l | |
| 2349 | |
| $ ### The number of occurences of "contexts:" followed by an array | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K\[\s*[^\]]+\]' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/\x00//g; s/\s//g; s/[0-9]\+\/[^:]\+:/\x00/g; s/^\x00//; s/\x00/\n/g; s/"/'"'"'/g' | wc -l | |
| 7406 | |
| $ ### The exact values of the arrays after "contexts:" (without whitespace) | |
| $ grep -r --include='*.js' -oPaz 'contexts["'"'"']?\s*:\s*\K\[\s*[^\]]+\]' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/\x00//g; s/\s//g; s/[0-9]\+\/[^:]\+:/\x00/g; s/^\x00//; s/\x00/\n/g; s/"/'"'"'/g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | |
