smart-referer VS chromium-web-store

Note that some sites depend on referrer and might break with this.

Here's a list of them maintained by the extension mentioned above: https://gitlab.com/smart-referrer/smart-referer/-/blob/gh-pa...

Now the problem is that it hasn't been updated since 3 years(last updated on Dec 18, 2019 according to AMO). Last commit on its gitlab repository was done on Sept 15, 2020. Now I am no developer, but I am sure that there has been quite a few changes in Firefox and some heavily discussed changes like MV3 and others are making its way to the browser as well. The add-on seems to have been abandoned by the developer judging by the activity in the repository.

Well there's a read me here that talks about whitelists etc. From a quick look it seems like you could probably accomplish the same thing with ClearURLs or similar. The default whitelist seems to be out of date by three years. Isn't this thing abandoned?

Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If not, is there an option too? I saw this (GitLab - Smart Referrer) but I wasn't sure if it was necessary if Firefox and/or Brave already does this for me.

Source code is on gitlab

I would also recommend Smart Referrer and ETag Stoppa.

Ungoogled Chromium (Mac & Linux), much more performant than Firefox; use Chromium Web Store to maintain extensions (ungoogled means ungoogled, no normal Chrome Web Store), and xBrowserSync for bookmarks. I really wish I could just use Safari on Mac though, all I want is bookmark sync (and more/better extensions, but bookmark sync).

And if you want to use extensions from the Web Store: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

ungoogled-chromium with chromium-web-store

Are there any chromium browsers on Android with addons? I'm not aware of any, so I primarily use Iceraven. On desktop I do have chromium with some addons, but the safest source is the Google web store. If you're using fully ungoogled chromium then you'll first need a custom extension to get access to the web store. You can get that here: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

Install some of these extensions using by manually going through the Chromium web store (from github): uBlock Origin Privacy Badger by EFF Trace - Online Tracking Protection Fast Forward Disconnect Decentraleyes Smart referer (link, and I believe it is firefox only?)

If you have to use it anyway, atleast use some popular open source tools like this. https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store or use this guide https://avoidthehack.com/manually-install-extensions-ungoogled-chromium.

there's an extension for Ungoogled which is used to auto update extensions called "Chromium webstore" on github here.

as an alternative to the already mentioned options there is also ungoogled-chromium on flathub. Flatpak should already be preinstalled on Fedora (was there for me on 36 fresh install). Note that you will need to sideload chromium-web-store to get access to the Chrome extensions store. There is also a workaround for dark mode in the readme on the github repo for the flatpak.
