@Dirk
As a supporter for >15 years, it hurts me that @mozilla / @firefox bow to the Russian autocracy.
It's the choice of either blocking some extension(s) or getting their whole domains blocked in russia, so mozilla chose the first
This decision has been reverted.
@levzzz
I know, but these extensions are essential for circumventing censorship.
This is exactly, what I call "bowing to an autocracy".
K, that's why they undid the the temporary change.

@martinv
This is very good news!
I can continue to use #Firefox!
@levzzz
I am not going to support the foundation.
