Awesome 👍

The addons on the store are signed and you can install them from an xpi file in regular Firefox.

Try it.

Robots and automation have been cutting 'mundane' jobs for literal centuries.

Artists are frankly out of touch and callous when they imply other people's jobs should be replaced.

Librewolf's extension store has refused Russia's request?

For xpis that are on the store it's absolutely correct. Which is the case here. It can be downloaded once and redistributed in any way (sneakernet) and installed offline.

Myself, just installed soundfixer via .xpi on windows 10 Firefox.

There is also no such thing as a "retail" Firefox.

I hope their values are not "get some good press".

Firefox being banned (or even chrome) won't change the outlook of Russians more than... fighting a friggin war (and doing badly).

You can still get the plugins via other means (getting them from somebody who already had them, getting a non flagged vpn to access the store).

In this context it's better for Firefox not to be the illegal unpatriotic software.

They don't block them. They stopped distributing them in Russia.

They are not disabling installed addons and you can always install addons from a file in Firefox.

Yes it will be more difficult to install and more risky to get a tampered version of the extension but if they did not comply the same problems would exist and extend to the actual browser.

Which is better than bricking a machine

Frankly " injecting a command after shell-metacharacters" makes it sound much more mystical and arcane than"just use the normal one liner syntax to run 2 commands"

As an American, I feel like this is somewhat familiar, and would have negative consequences.

Fucking poetic
