RefControl

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

A perfect capstone on my need to protect my privacy. I've been Monstering my Cookies, Blocking my Flash, and No-ing my Scripts for a long time but, now, especially with the EU "cookie law" ramping up incentives to track without cookies, I started worrying about Referer headers.

After all, you can hardly tell Google that the Google Font Library and the Google AJAX CDN (which seems to serve everyone's jQuery these days) are illegal tracking tools... but the Referer header and a little smart coding let Google use them that way.

That's where RefControl comes in. It has a delightful little feature named "Default: FORGE" where I can satisfy most sites with meaningless fake Referer headers, but still whitelist the few sites like Snopes and Pixiv which are especially picky.

I wish there was a clear way to apply a whitelist to non-3rd-party URLs only, but aside from that, it's a perfect set-and-forget privacy tool.

RSS Icon

Assegnate 4 su 5 stelle

I really would've preferred the standard feed icon (the one used in the toolbar button) rather than the background-free, orange-on-transparent version, but aside from that, nice job.

I really was a stupid move on the Firefox devs' part to move it to the toolbars, ignoring the page/browser action distinction that got formalized so elegantly in Chrome.

If they really think it's so awful to show an RSS icon in the awesomebar when their tests show it's rarely used, maybe what they need to do is implement a "toolbar editor" mode for customizing which icons appear in the awesomebar.

Stylish - Custom themes for any website

Assegnate 3 su 5 stelle

Very useful, but I find the new 1.0 look annoying. I've downgraded to 0.5.9 to keep the script manager I prefer.
