Adam's Firefox add-on supports fewer sites (even compared to his Chrome extension) and has lots of bugs (even more after reduction of permissions) ...

I don't know. Advertising a fork as "clean"ed from something the original project (the ff extension) never had feels a bit disingenuous, marketing-wise. I'll stick with the old one as it requires less permissions. It seems to work as expected. You seem to be very eager to point out the superiority of the fork. Are you involved in the project?

  Well, goodluck sticking to an 'inferior' repo. It's a free world after all ;-) Btw Clean postfix comes from Chrome extension. I'm just informing users of the new repo which also has an limited permissions release (custom sites not working then).

    ...so you are part of this project, right? That's not a big deal, of course. Usually quite the opposite. But usually people here don't try to deflect the question either, so.. It sounds a bit bitter as well. I'd love to see those projects ending up competing in a productive way!

      I'm an user and close observer of this repo. But you're done now 'judging' my intentions?

        I questioned your intentions, I didn't judge them - as I can't know them. I did judge your responses though. That's a good thing and something we owe to each other in a meaningful conversation.

        Sure, disingenuous and bitter isn't anything like judging ;-) But goodluck with Adam's repo, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

        Informing users of a better repo is key. Let the code speak for itself.

        If you're 'afraid' to move to a new and better add-on then don't blame the messenger for it though.
