Report Broken Add-Ons Here: Sensible default addons list

Dakkaron commented 4 years ago

Now that we all can set our own addon collections to experiment (thanks, @abhijitvalluri), it might be a good time to review the default list of addons. Quite a lot of them refuse to install or don't do anything when installed.

I am thinking that all addons that arent installable at all should be removed from the default list. Stuff that installs but doesn't do anything is debatable.

What do you think about that?

Mute Tab is completely not working. Please remove it.

Few Non-functional addons

Video download helper -------- this addon is the best functioning alternative https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/video-downloader-mpmux/

Few unnecessary addons (strictly in my opinion)

Greasemonkey - similar addons exist

Pull to refresh - this feature is built into the firefox

Smart Https , HTTPz - this feature exists in the browser itself

Dark mode - around 3 extensions exist gor the similar function

i couldn't get 'image search options' and 'view image' to work

clear url - around 3 similar addons exist for this feature

Addon requests

xCookie - only extension that allows us to copy whole cookie, while others allow to copy cookie in parts ( value, expiry date etc)

Fastforward - if possible please add this -------------- https://fastforward.team/

Hektcaptcha

Buster - it didn't install in firefox dev. , hope it works in the future

Isnt there someone that knows the limitations of Fenix for Extensions?

Basically:

working:

url modifiers
website modifyers, html, js, css
adblockers
cookies
useragent
canvas
...

not working probably never:

interface changes
tab actions
containers
fancy things like VideoDownloadhelper or Printing

Check out my list of addons, all are actually useful but also not confusing, snake oil or simply not working.

Most addons will download so this seperation makes little sense.

So broken:

video download helper
firefox multi account containers
probably proxyswitcher omega
tab session manager
stylus maybe?
auto tab discard
undo close tab: button not working, tabs are not possible to manage
swift selection search
soundcloud downloader
temporary containers
floccus, xbrowsersync: no addons can interact with bookmarks afaik
tab center reborn (guys...)
yomichan: probably
default bookmark folder
private bookmarks
export tabs urls
reload all tabs
mute tab
perfect home
video resumer probably
visited links probably
external videoplayer probably?
pagezipper (either it doesnt work or online service thus maybe tracking)
online dictionary helper (keyword popup)
simple mouse gestures (everything with mouse)
expire history
tap translate
bandwidth hero: they have shut down the service

Useless, confusing, duplicates, snakeoil

popup blocker (ublock does that)
Adblocker ultimate
adguard
privacy badger
bitwarden (the app does that)
youtube nonstop (debatable but yeah)
clesrURLs (ublock origin list does that)
dont track me google (if it works, it may have some value)
decentraleyes: deprecated, makes you very fingerprintable, probably broken on mobile
some *monkey should go I guess
privacypossum
turn off the lights (useless for mobile)
old reddit redirect (useless on mobile, deprecated)
localcdn: same as decentraleyes, incomplete, fingerprintable
umatrix: not developed anymore
anything with HTTPS: not needed!
clean youtube, no ads: ublock guys
tomato clock: probably useless on mobile
weather: same
privacy redirect: deprecated, Libredirect!
impulse blocker: leechblock, ublock
trace: very fingerprintable, does not replace a hardened browser and RFP. BIIG warning
save screenshot (why??)
nitter redirect: libredirect
nano defender archived since 2020!
bluehell firewall: ublock
shut up: should be a ublock list
smart referer probably
privacy settings: very snake oil here
invidition: libredirect
requestcontrol: ublock probably
css exfil: probably replaced by noscript
link cleaner: ublock origin
httpz not longer needed!
pdf.js not longer needed!
fennec copy link text: not longer needed, broken
pull to refresh (really?)
behavioral keyboard: just use a good keyboard app
nohttp: not needed

Tracking / Bad addons

ghostery
languagetool (debatable)
honey
google translator, website translator (TWP is the only good one)
keepa
flagfox (alternative, maybe: country flags & ip whois)
tos;dr (reads and sends EVERY website)
the same for wayback machine by default
save data: this is fingerprintable
google docs viewer

Some other addons have Chinese names or something I cant make a sense of like Nonio or Belfast Telegraph.

So this was just a quick look. Guys please clean that list, its a total mess. Look at mine, I have even some missing ones. Dont follow the "I install 362 Addons so I am vewwy private" mania, every addon is an increased attack surface and can even track actively, or simply be useless, redundant, broken or even harmful.
