What is the difference between Chameleon and JShelter?

• Chameleon – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox Android (en-US)
  • Chameleon is a WebExtension port of the popular Firefox addon Random Agent Spoofer.
• JShelter – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox Android (en-US)
  • JShelter is a browser extension to give back control over what your browser is doing. A JavaScript-enabled web page can access much of the browser's functionality, with little control over this process available to the user: malicious websites can uniquely identify you through fingerprinting and use other tactics for tracking your activity. JShelter aims to improve the privacy and security of your web browsing.
  • Like a firewall that controls network connections, JShelter controls the APIs provided by the browser, restricting the data that they gather and send out to websites. JShelter adds a safety layer that allows the user to choose if a certain action should be forbidden on a site, or if it should be allowed with restrictions, such as reducing the precision of geolocation to the city area. This layer can also aid as a countermeasure against attacks targeting the browser, operating system or hardware.

JShelter seems to spoof info by controls the APIs provided by the browser? and Chameleon spoofs user agent and many other information.

To me both seems to serves the same purpose of spoofing. Is Chameleon spoofing without interfering with js and JShelter spoofing with interfering with js the main difference between them? In addition JShelter seems to be able to block malicious js

How JShelter and Chameleon achieves spoofing differently?

In the documentation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing mozilla says you need to install this extension.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

However it says the extension is not actively monitored. Is this feature supported by firefox or not? It seems tacked on and unsupported.

I hadn't updated my Firefox Nightly on Android for a while (two releases), and just did. However, the new toolbar mentioned here disappeared! I had gotten pretty reliant on being able to open a new tab or go forward with a single tap. Anyone know if there's a way for me to get it back?

Solution: I found this this bugzilla comment which links to this page for time formatting. I changed intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short to h:mm a so it shows 4:26PM. There's an open bugzilla report for my issue: Date not formatted according to user's locale (LC_TIME).

For instance, 4:26PM instead of 16:26, I'm on linux (NixOS) if that helps.

After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.

There goes the only feature that managed to move my wife towards a gecko based browser. l guess it's Brave for her now.

Mozilla acquired it two years ago. Bastards.

Important Update: Orbit will shut down on June 26, 2025.
On June 26, you will no longer be able to use the Orbit extension. Thanks for supporting our journey.

I created an extension adding a “Similar repositories” section to the sidebar of any public GitHub repository with more than 150 stars. It allows you to discover related open-source projects without leaving the page.

It's also open-source! https://github.com/Mubelotix/SimRepo

this ad is hypocritical as FUCK imo, just wanted to spark discussion on the topic.

Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.
