  • since this is most likely not a very popular add-on, any browser with it would stand out considerably more relative to not having it.

    websites cannot look at the list of your addons. they have to detect the presence of each, which is mostly possible when the addon makes changes to the page content, or replaces browser APIs in certain ways.

    sometimes these are called transactions, suse calls it transactional updates. but is that any better? now the complaint will be that suse must have transacted away all the money from your bank account!

    why don’t they switch the “current project” selection to it, though? It’s on telegram now. it would receive more help because that’s the automatic choice
