Top 23 Firefox Open-Source Projects

• mkcert

  12 28,132 4.7 Go

  A simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates with any names you'd like.

  Project mention: YunoHost exclusively in local network (ssl/cert/https problem) | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2021-02-24

  A possible workaround could be generating some new certificates for an internal domain name (maybe mkcert helps here, it even allows to generate wildcards) then copy them to your server and edit your YunoHost's Nginx config files to replace the current (if any) certificate paths to the new ones, so you would then have access to your-service.domain.tld from your local network (don't forget to import the CA certificate to your browser, or you'll get a beutiful warning message about problems with the authority that signed it!)

• uBlock

  1 8,010 0.0 JavaScript

  uBlock: a fast, lightweight, and lean blocker for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. (by uBlock-LLC)

  Project mention: Malware in open-source web extensions | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-02-16

  I want to clarify a few points in the article re. uBlock Origin, they might be seen as minor details but to me these matter.

  > Raymond Hill, after (you guessed it) he transferred ownership of uBlock to a new, untrustworthy maintainer

  Only the GitHub repo was transferred, I never transferred the extension in the Chrome Store, and Opera Store.[1]

  The Firefox version was published by a contributor, and he chose to stay with the new maintainer, and as a result I created a new publication for uBlock Origin in Firefox store.

  All this was nearly 6 years ago.

  > Aljoudi began reducing blocking features, eventually choosing to permit certain ads via the "acceptable ads" program

  "Acceptable Ads" was added to "uBlock" in February 2019 by the new owner, BetaFish Inc. (maker of AdBlock).[2]

  BetaFish Inc. was itself sold circa October 2015 to an (still) anonymous buyer.[3]

  > Hill created a fork, now called uBlock Origin, which reverted the changes

  I didn't revert any change, I forked while I was still controlling the GitHub repo.[4] If you look at the project timeline, it shows that I have been in charge since the first commit in June 2014.[5]

  > Nano Defender and its 200,000+ users, upon their recent acquisition, immediately began having their personal data mined.

  Note that the malware did not require the blocking ability of the webRequest API to collect the data, it needed only the observational ability, which is not deprecated by Manifest v3.[6]

  Project mention: LastPass Android app has got 7 trackers in it | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-02

  Bitwarden has one critical feature that makes it unusable. For example, one feature that has been "in the works" for last 3+ years : "auto-save newly created passwords with a prompt" [0]. I understand that it is a different model than LastPass but 3y+ for a critical feature is one of the reasons BitWarden is not the first choices.

  [0] https://github.com/bitwarden/browser/issues/320

  PS - If this issue does not occur for you personally, great but it does not for me and many others. Thus, it is unreliable.
