General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.
Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

If we hear about it they will be added to the blocklist.. IF they submit them to our Add-ons Site.. They will be EX-TER-MIN-ATED. You know.. The way Mozilla operated for 10 years before they couldn't be bothered.
In general, I doubt anyone making stuff like this would succeed much with our community. When I look at the help questions asked on r/firefox, where they think that uninstalling/reinstalling firefox is the same as making a fresh profile...
Truly it has gone to the lowest common denominator.

Without going into specifics, there HAVE been extensions where, while not copycats, were potential submissions to our site, that were malicious in nature in a few respects. Needless to say those did not end up getting approved. This was of course before the panel was a thing and based on our communication I doubt they will attempt to submit them there. But if they do, they will be banned, that's for certain.

And they didn't get through thanks to you and the others reviewing addon submissions
In other words, what Mozilla decided to ditch in favor of automation.

A smaller extension library will always be more secure than a larger one like googles.It must be a security nightmare for them having to check and vet thousands of extensions.

Moonraker.. size isn't a factor.. EVERY extension submitted to the Add-ons Sites except by Phoebus Administrators and Add-ons Team Members must be reviewed. A select few are classed as Advanced Developers who get their new submissions enabled but they won't show up in categories or search until they are reviewed. However, direct links and AUS will work. Advanced Developers also get the ability to have unlisted extensions.
So yeah.. three hundred or two thousand it doesn't matter. If they pull shit they will be exterminated. Such is the order of things.
