My Reviews
History Deleter
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very nice. With the default settings it seems designed mostly to get rid of old history and dead links, but if you change the time limit to 0, and you have it execute the deletion whenever Firefox is closed, then it actually functions as a constant filter of parts of your History based on specific keywords. It all makes so much sense to me that I think it should be a default feature of Firefox some day.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.12).Ixquick HTTPS Privacy Search Engine
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
After Google moved to eliminate scroogle.org (the dedicated Google search proxy) yesterday, it is truly Ixquick's time to step up to the plate, in providing search results that respect users' privacy. Of course, Ixquick has been at it for some time, but the privacy issues, and the need for more search engines like Ixquick, are only now being properly highlighted in the media, while the behavior of Google and the other internet giants just gets worse and worse, as they manhandle their users' most intimate information.
Use this add-on and strike a blow for internet users' rights.
Thank you.
CustomizeGoogle
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Frankly speaking, as much as I appreciate the important work that was done in the past, work that deserved to be rewarded...NOW, with development long ceased, it is somewhat outrageous that 1) the Customizegoogle.com homepage is still asking for new Paypal donations, 2) that same page gives a direct link to the installation files, thus making its visitors install outdated and malfunctional software, and 3) nowhere is a link to be found to the functional successor Optimizegoogle. This is irresponsible behavior, any way you look at it.

Works very well. Frankly I haven't seen a must-have security extension like this since I installed BetterPrivacy and that was a long time ago.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.12).OptimizeGoogle
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Without this addon, using Google services and Google apps is an annoying experience as well as a threat to your privacy (see the privacy feature inside OptimizeGoogle, a feature which in my opinion should be enabled on by default). It is essential that this extension continues to be updated.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.77).To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
