Yeah, they shut it down arguing "it doesn't work" :-/

I think i'll just upload the broken/experimental version i made with e10s support (that i kinda dislike by the reasons given in other ticket)

Actually a WebExtension version might be more suitable, but i don't have much time these days to develop it from scratch again... 🙄

jawz101 · 2017-03-30T22:43:52Z

Well, I just appreciate your work. If anything, it feels like this add-on made for a good reference design for several concepts if anyone wanted to investigate controlling referrers.

Kinda wish you'd work on Privacy Badger :D I get the feeling your ideas and interests in privacy and heuristics are good.

leedoyle · 2017-04-01T10:17:17Z

If they are going to do that with every extension that doesn't support e10s yet it's a tragedy...

Yeah, they shut it down arguing "it doesn't work" :-/

Does an addon being not e10s automatically mean it's going to be deleted from AMO? If not, is there any procedure to challenge such allegations?

I think i'll just upload the broken/experimental version i made with e10s support (that i kinda dislike by the reasons given in other ticket)

Looking forward to it, I've been enjoying your addon.

but i don't have much time these days to develop it from scratch again

Good thing is that you'd only have to rewrite it once, because WebExtensions is there to stay.

diegocr · 2017-04-02T13:34:41Z

Thanks for the nice words @jawz101 :-)

@leedoyle

Good thing is that you'd only have to rewrite it once, ...

Well, that was also my thought went i spent a considerable amount of time rewriting the former restartless extension to support e10s 🙄

Does an addon being not e10s automatically mean it's going to be deleted from AMO?

Potentially i'd say, but it's something we have to ask Mozilla...

Looking forward to it, I've been enjoying your addon.

Thank you :)

Bluscream · 2017-04-10T23:14:15Z

Can you release XPI's on Github and make a tutorial how to install them or use the source?

anewuser · 2017-04-14T11:33:45Z

Former users of this extension can try Redirector instead. It doesn't come with pre-defined rules but the general purpose is the same.

@diegocr Instead of wasting your time rewriting the extension again, I suggest you and other people just to share their regexes on the Redirector page (maybe we could start a wiki for it?).

Bluscream · 2017-04-14T13:14:03Z

Can't you do both? I prefer CleanLinks because it is open source

jawz101 · 2017-04-14T15:58:42Z

@anewuser to expound on that idea, it'd be nice to have a list hosted on github which was formatted to pull into the add-on. That way we could all curate a list but not have to manually add them.

@Bluscream I'm pretty sure everything we've talked about is open source

anewuser · 2017-04-14T21:26:05Z

@einaregilsson Has there been any progress on einaregilsson/Redirector#30? I invited these people to take a look at Redirector, but they'd still be in the same boat in case the migration to WebExtension kills your work on the Firefox extension

@jawz101 I get what you mean, but @einaregilsson and @diegocr don't have time to work on something big like that. You'd need to able to do that by yourself or hire/convince other programmers. :)

@Gitoffthelawn Any remarks or words of wisdom on this opportunity to combine efforts with one another?

einaregilsson · 2017-04-17T12:59:27Z

@anewuser That issue was finished long ago. Redirector is now a WebExtensions addon. Although, because of a Mozilla bug there are now requests sent to the original url and the new url, and that bug is only scheduled to be fixed in FF55 unfortunately :(

atomGit · 2017-04-18T11:27:34Z

you have the best link cleaner i have found - thanks for your work and hopefully it will make it back to AMO in the future

have a good one

Atavic · 2017-04-18T19:15:40Z

@diegocr I keep my legacy FF with the addons that perfectly work, as Clean Links!
@leedoyle I have many addons as a back up from the Privacy/Security section in AMO and will upload them if they disappear.
@Bluscream There's an addon for that, but you can do it yourself:

Download this repository, click on top right and choose Download ZIP.
An XPI file is just a rebranded ZIP file, so you must either rename the file type or create a new zipped file with thw same content, just save it with the .xpi extension instead of the default .zip one.

leethax666 · 2017-04-19T19:05:01Z

came here super worried, glad it'll be released again soon!

ng4ever · 2017-05-02T22:07:14Z

Good thing I had a backup plan.

alekksander · 2017-05-02T22:13:35Z

what is it? ;) can be useful… got the feeling this addon won't stand up for mozilla's super new age demands…

leethax666 · 2017-05-02T22:15:42Z

Redirector looks cool if someone wants to maintain a regex list or port whatever clean links uses

is it still maintained? (doesn't seem to be)

JanieBug74 · 2017-05-02T23:31:26Z

It's been dragging and droppind, I don;t know what to do

pde · 2017-05-22T21:24:22Z

@jawz101 Privacy Badger is interested in supporting link deobfuscation; we've had an open ticket for this for a long time, but now have someone actually working on it.

Weirdly, to the extent that this functionality can be implemented by using regular expression rewrites of outbound request URLs, EFF's other major browser extension HTTPS Everywhere may actually be a better fit, since it's basically a giant regular expression rewriting engine.

Gitoffthelawn · 2017-05-23T05:20:03Z

@pde For a customizable regular expression rewriting engine, you may want to take a look at Redirector: https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector

alekksander · 2017-05-23T13:05:21Z

how exactly does it work? does it do anything by default?

Gitoffthelawn · 2017-05-23T17:28:31Z

@alekksander It does nothing by default. You create rules (wildcard or regex) and then it automatically acts on those rules.

alekksander · 2017-05-23T17:31:12Z

it seems to me, that redirector is just miserable substitute :(

Gitoffthelawn · 2017-05-24T00:54:20Z

@alekksander Standard rules will work. You just tell it what URLs to match and where to redirect them to. You can create as many rules as meet your needs.

jawz101 · 2017-05-24T02:34:09Z

I'm not a fan of the write-your-own-rules add-ons. Something that pulls community rule sets, you train based on something which detects something and asks what you want to do. Otherwise, the user has to constantly look at their address bar.

Also, I don't know if referrer and redirect are interchangeable terms but it seems like they are 2 separate things.

Gitoffthelawn · 2017-05-24T05:41:31Z

Also, I don't know if referrer and redirect are interchangeable terms but it seems like they are 2 separate things.

You have it correct. Not interchangeable terms. Completely different things.

Lootyhoof · 2017-05-25T14:37:26Z

For what it's worth, this add-on does still work on Pale Moon, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

@diegocr If you want to have this hosted on an add-on repository the Pale Moon Add-ons Site is available for any add-ons compatible with Pale Moon. If this is of interest feel free to ping me at the email address on my GitHub profile.

Bluscream · 2017-05-25T14:39:09Z

Can firefox download pale moon addons?

Lootyhoof · 2017-05-25T14:52:38Z

@Bluscream Yes, if you change the flag xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config first (and assuming any add-ons for Pale Moon also support Firefox). You wouldn't be able to auto update the add-on though, as auto update for the Pale Moon Add-ons Site only works in Pale Moon.

Also bearing in mind that this add-on will no longer work in Firefox versions past 57.

Bluscream · 2017-05-25T14:54:15Z

Why is mozilla enforcing so much bs even on experienced users :/

LimboSlam · 2017-05-26T19:15:22Z

@Bluscream,
Have a look here: https://andreasgal.com/2017/05/25/chrome-won/, maybe this will give you some insight.

RoestVrijStaal · 2018-01-05T12:51:35Z

Hi,

Because 2.7.1 isn't available here , I've extracted its XPI from my Pale Moon profile for the people who want version 2.7.1.

Simply unzip the zip and drag the XPI to your browser's window to install it.

Clean Links 2.7.1-signed.1-signed.zip
