I miss Dark Reader, UBO is pre-installed, but the only way I can see to install Dark Reader is through firefox add-ons page. I’m hoping that simply going to that page to install the add-on is relatively safe, I wouldn’t feel too worried visiting the mozilla website generally, but given I’m installing extensions the browser I wonder if I’m somehow undoing the good that’s done switching to LibreWolf.

    Some but not all extension have a repository where you can directly download the .XPI file without Firefox’s domain if that’s something you’re worried about.

    Here’s an example with DarkReader.

    As for your question, I don’t think right now there’s something to worry about. There are other things LibreWolf still uses Mozilla’s domain.

      hah! No way it actually prevented me from installing it via the downloaded xpi because it was unsigned haha. Maybe I ought to just get it from the mozilla add ons page.

        Ohhh? That’s something new… In the past I have already done it that way on Firefox without issues. But that’s a good thing, this prevents from installing some shady things ! But I’m sure there’s a way to do it anyway.
