Cursed Addons – Add-ons für Firefox (de)

external-link
Laden Sie Firefox-Sammlungen herunter und erstellen Sie sie, um Ihre bevorzugten Erweiterungen und Themes im Auge zu behalten. Entdecken Sie die Cursed Addons – Dont use these lol. Okay more details: some are utter garbage, some pretend to be something they are not, and a lot of big tech doing proprietary tracking stuff under the hood of "security" or even "privacy through a VPN".

I use Bitwarden, but what’s wrong with 1password?

They had a database breach afaik. Also a Malwarebytes extension will VERY likely compare every URL i.e. track you unnecessarily. There is UBlock Origin, nothing more needed.

Sounds possible, but do you have evidence?

Not yet. Functionality looks unnecessary though, as its simply UBlock origin.

Will have to do a mtim analysis which I dont really see myself doing

Even if they did that, there are ways to do that without compromising privacy.

They did not have a data breach.

Ok thanks for the heads up. Seems to be just a service offering proprietary cloud-based password storage.

I think this is very toxic towards forming habits for People.

I will do a Step-by-step guide for Android and Linux/Windows, how to sync your passwords between devices using Syncthing and KeepassXC/DX. It is so easy, like 15 steps and you are done, with images and all.

Nothing. Some guy on the internet that uses Firefox doesn’t like them.

Also, Malewarebytes? I don’t use them but I thought they were actually legit.

Only the free malware detection. But they tend to bundle a lot of “clean your registry”, “reclaim unused space”, “pay us to sieve all your private browsing data keep you secure” bloat as well. It shouldn’t be permanently on your system as they can track and funnel data like crazy if you let them.

They recently implemented some in app analytics. But it’s opt-in. The feature is turned off by default. 1Password still pretty great, especially if you are using it with your family.
