Mozilla, the developer of the popular Firefox web browser, has introduced three new extensions for its Android browser. These new extensions are designed to enhance the user’s browsing experience and make it more convenient to use.
Web Archives
The first of these extensions, “Web Archives,” allows users to preserve full web pages and access them later. This plugin is beneficial for those who wish to store significant web pages for future reference or to read later when they don’t have access to the internet. MHTML and Web Archive are two of the archive formats supported by the plugin (WARC). Users can also save only certain elements of a page, such as photographs or text.
Bookmark Duplicate Detector
The second extension, “Bookmark Duplicate Detector,” helps users keep their bookmarks organized and free of duplicates. With this extension, users can easily identify and remove duplicate bookmarks, ensuring that their bookmarks list remains uncluttered and easy to navigate.
Disable AMP
The third and final extension is called “Disable AMP.” Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is a technology developed by Google that is designed to make web pages load faster on mobile devices. However, some users prefer not to use AMP pages because they often strip away features and limit functionality. The disabled AMP extension allows users to bypass AMP pages and view the original, full-featured version of a web page instead.
Firefox’s Commitment to Privacy
Mozilla’s Firefox browser has long been known for its commitment to privacy and user data protection. These new extensions are no exception. The Web Archives extension, for example, saves pages locally on the user’s device rather than uploading them to a cloud server. The Bookmark Duplicate Detector extension operates locally and does not transmit any data to Mozilla or any third-party servers. The Disable AMP extension is also designed to protect user privacy by preventing AMP pages from tracking users’ browsing activity.
Availability and Installation
The new extensions are available for download from the Firefox Add-ons website. To install an extension, users can simply tap on the “Add-ons” icon in the Firefox toolbar and select “Browse all Firefox Add-ons.” From there, they can search for the desired extension and click “Install” to add it to their browser.
In conclusion, Mozilla’s new extensions for the Android version of Firefox aim to enhance the user’s browsing experience by providing useful tools for archiving pages, organizing bookmarks, and bypassing AMP pages. The commitment to user privacy is also evident in the design of these extensions, which do not transmit any data to third-party servers. Firefox users can download these extensions from the Firefox Add-ons website and enjoy an even more convenient and private browsing experience.
