Weather Widget Injector

WHAT IT DOES

Weather Widget Injector adds a compact, always-visible weather widget to any webpage you visit. The widget automatically detects your location via IP address or allows you to enter a manual location, then fetches current weather data from a public API (wttr.in). It displays the current temperature, weather conditions, humidity, wind speed, and feels-like temperature in a sleek, minimal interface. The widget is positioned in the corner of the page and can be refreshed with a single click, giving you quick access to weather information without opening a separate app or website.

WHERE IT RUNS

This extension works on any website across the entire web. It functions on news sites, work documents, social media, shopping pages, and any page where you want quick access to weather information. The tool works across all domains and adapts to dynamically loaded content and single-page applications.

HOW TO USE

Install the extension and navigate to any webpage. A compact weather widget appears in the corner of the page (bottom-right by default). The widget shows the current temperature, weather condition, humidity, wind speed, and feels-like temperature for your approximate location. Click the widget to refresh the weather data. Use the overlay panel to customize the experience: choose between automatic location detection (via IP) or manual location entry (e.g., "New York" or "London"), select Imperial (°F, mph) or Metric (°C, km/h) units, adjust the refresh interval in minutes (default 30 minutes), choose the widget position (top-right, top-left, bottom-right, or bottom-left), and toggle humidity and wind display on or off.

TECHNICAL SECTION — LOCATION DETECTION AND WEATHER FETCHING

The extension uses a two-stage data retrieval process. First, it determines the user's location using the ipapi.co service, which returns city, state, and country information based on the IP address. If the user prefers manual location, that value is used directly. The location is then passed to the wttr.in weather API, a free public service that returns current weather data in JSON format. The API response includes temperature (in both Fahrenheit and Celsius), weather description, humidity, wind speed, and feels-like temperature. The extension parses this data and renders it in a compact widget using DOM manipulation. A weather icon emoji is selected based on the condition description (cloudy, rain, snow, etc.). Data is cached with a configurable refresh interval to reduce API calls while keeping information current.

THE PANEL — DRAG / PER-SITE POSITION / SNAP / COLLAPSE / RESIZE / ESCAPE

The overlay panel is fully interactive and designed for seamless multitasking. Drag it anywhere on the screen using the handle at the top of the panel; the position is saved per site so it stays where you left it across sessions. The panel includes a snap-to-edge feature that gently anchors the overlay to the nearest screen edge when released. Click the collapse button to minimize the panel to a compact pill showing the current weather status; expand it again with a single click. Resize the panel vertically by dragging the bottom-right corner to view more controls. Press the Escape key at any time to instantly close the overlay; it reappears on the next page navigation or refresh.

PLEASE NOTE

This extension requires the free BotGentz companion extension to function, as it provides the underlying content script injection and cross-origin communication framework. No personal data, browsing history, or location data is stored, transmitted, or shared. Location detection uses ipapi.co, which is a free public service — no personal information is transmitted beyond the IP address required for location lookup. Weather data is fetched from wttr.in, a free public weather API that does not require an API key. Settings are stored locally in your browser using GM_setValue and are never sent to any external server. The extension does not access or store login credentials, financial data, or personally identifiable information. The weather data is provided by a third-party service and may have varying accuracy or availability. Manual location entry overrides automatic detection and should be used if the IP-based location is inaccurate.
