Home Hardware SDS Quick Lookup

Hi all,

I'm a relatively new member to this forum. Been lurking for a while so I figured it was about time I make a post.

Here's something I made to quickly lookup safety data sheets for products on the home hardware website. It's been very handy to me so hopefully others will find it useful.

Setup instructions:
1. Install a userscript manager extension on your browser (I prefer violentmonkey since it's open source, but you can also use greasemonkey)
2. Install the script from here

Usage instructions:
Just go to any product page on home hardware and you should see a link to the SDS in the top left corner above the product image. Products without an SDS will not show a link.

Example:
https://www.homehardware.ca/en/1l-fast-acting-drain-cleaner/...


I'm curious to see what others think. I imagine a lot of people would be hesitant to install a random script from a random person like me on here. I might end up scraping the entire website and compiling a massive spreadsheet with product ingredients.

I usually just use ctrl+f and type "sds"
Read the script, seams simple and stright foward, does every web page get logged into the https://chemmanagement.ehs.com/9/Ebinder/GetSearchResults" or just when the browser is @ homehardware.ca?

The script only runs on homehardware.ca, specifically when the browser URL matches the following: "https://www.homehardware.ca/en/*/p/*"
