Thanks! So I understand that we have to manually install the xpi from here 👌
Yes.
Hot tip. You can enable 'Install extension from file' in mobile Firefox apps (Firefox, Fennec, Mull etc) by going to Settings > About Firefox (or About Fennec etc) > Tapping the name 5 times.
You should see a message about debug mode being enabled and the 'Install extention from file' option should be in the Advanced section of your brower settings.
That's a great tip, thanks! I knew about collections to import extensions from desktop but not that one!
This is a clone of the last GitHub version before dev went away to GitFlic.
GitFlic. Original dev was chased off of GitHub for by big money
I selfhost a copy of ladder
https://github.com/everywall/ladder
And just wrote a basic right click extension to prefix the url.
Interesting, thanks! I'll have a look at this when I get some time to tinker again
Does this also get rid of annoying pop-ups?
Enable the optional filter lists in ublock origin.
You mean cookies? No
Otherwise I'm not sure, better getting some ad-blocking mechanisms like uBlock, Pi-Hole and the likes
Bypass paywall still works ?
It works well surprisingly enough! I'm happy to have it back
Cant paywalls be bypassed by just using reader mode?
Not all of them, no.
They are getting smarter. They only load enough text that user has visible on screen.
Maybe, I have to admit that I never got used to reader mode and I was used to just getting the content seamlessly most of the time. If that works as well that's also a great solution!
