Bring it to Firefox

[rugk]

As Firefox 57 supports Web Extensions you should be able to port it there, respectively to package it for Firefox.

We would love to see a fork which ports it to Firefox.

A fork is not necessary (and would be bad as it is harder to maintain then). WebExtensions can be integrated into Firefox 57 and higher without much things to do. (Actually with some workarounds one may also be able to download the add-on from the Chrome add-on store)

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebExtensions for details.

I fear it requires quite a lot of changes, as some features we use seem to be not supported in Firefox WebExtensions yet, namely the chrome.debugger API and button events for notifications.

Building a "light" extension for Firefox supporting only blocking and overriding functions should be trivial, however, the feature to ask a user for permission would require a rewrite for Firefox.

[rugk]

Maybe track the integration process. Many APIs will be integrated into the following Firefox releases.

Please ask for whatever APIs you need for Firefox here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

Having a privacy extension that only works in the most privacy invading browser is a bit sad :(
