Wiki extension recommendations

[cryptocat8]

Redirector has not updated since 2020, and you still recommend it (in maybe column) in the wiki. Reason?
Instead, what is your stance on recommended something like LibRedirect.

Or atleast remove the "✔" sign after Redirector as the extension is not maintained.

Also:

1. Smart Referer - not updated since 2019
2. Header Editor - not updated since 2019
3. Request Control - not updated since 2020
4. Behave! - not updated since 2020
5. mozlz4-edit - not updated since 2019
6. Enterprise Policy Generator - not updated since 2020

And:
Umatrix last release was in 2021, not in 2020: Ref: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/releases/tag/1.4.4

I hope I didn't make it sound arrogant, I am generally concerned. Thanks for your efforts Pants!

That might be false "accusation".
Not updated might also mean that it is polished to the very end and update is not needed.

Instead of Redirector? Then you could also recommend pineapples.

edit: means that the two add-ons have different functionality/purposes.

Or atleast remove the "heavy_check_mark" sign after Redirector as the extension is not maintained.

Has the privacy policy change?

Note: The check mark is before the "privacy" link and not after the extension name.

Oh got it

Nah I don't recommend Libredirect. I used it for a while but it is far from stable. Recently they had an update that wiped your settings without warning and the developers claim that they will do this regularly because the addon is under "active development". You can see the issue tracker for more discussion, but I do not recommend it in its current state.

Umatrix last release was in 2021, not in 2020

The wiki says .. emphasis mine

No longer maintained, the last commit was April 2020 except for a one-off patch to fix a vulnerability

Looking at the releases: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/releases (and ignoring beta releases) - IDK where I got April 2020 from

• 1.4.0 was Sept 2019
• 1.4.2 was July 2021 <- this was the vulnerability fix
• 1.4.4 was July 2021 <- this was the following day to clean up a couple of issues I guess

THE POINT IS THIS HASN'T BEEN MAINTAINED SINCE JESUS

Will amend the wiki to show not updated since 2019

Enterprise Policy Generator - since 2020

Removed it. It is very out of date with current policies

[Thorin-Oakenpants]

Smart Referer - not updated since 2019

This is being looked at in #1433 - not that it isn't working or needs updating, but that we need a better approach (if users relax 1601)

[Thorin-Oakenpants]

Header Editor - since 2019
Request Control - since 2020
Behave! - since 2020
mozlz4-edit - since 2019

In what way are they not working? Please don't dump lists at me and expect me to do the work. Provide evidence

duplicate of #1447
duplicate of #1373

also read -> #1373 (comment)

I do not care about LibRedirect. It is a very limited list and not a full solution. The full solution is to partition and mask your IP

I meant "not updated" for all of them. Not "not working" @Thorin-Oakenpants
