I don't make my #Firefox addons available for other #browsers, namely Chromium-based ones, mainly because I don't want to unnecessarily encourage people to use #privacy-invading #software.
For example, as I learned today, there is a way of tracking #Chrome users by analysing what addons they have installed: https://mastodon.social/@datenschutzratgeber/108501172720893200
I wrote some advocacy on #firefox #webextensions - Manifest V3 is coming, and some of the changes coming may end up dumbing down some of the nicer features of extensions in Firefox vs. other #browsers like #chrome.
