Hello. I have used Firefox for many years and i loved your product every day. I especially enjoy its addon functionality and flexibility. One of the addons I love is Dissenter. A free speech plugin that allows for commenting on literally every page of the internet without censorship as long as po…

Yeah I heard about this too, thankfully it still works as of yet and it can be downloaded manually. It’s funny how Mozilla always talked about and supposedly wanted a “free and open internet” yet they ban an add-on for simply allowing comments on a wider scale. Chances are that Mozilla received mon…

LOL, there is an add-on for spreading fake news! :smiley: (that’s probably the reason for the ban)

It has been banned because of hate speech. But are accusations of such really avoidable these days, especially if your political views tip to the right? This alone seems to already be sufficient reason for some people to become very upset, and its kind of trending. I think that Congressman Tom McCl…

This is not a good look, Mozilla. I continued to use Firefox even when everyone else had switched to Chrome, specifically because I want a product that is independent of corporate or political meddling. I do not trust Google and I would not use their browser, no matter how superior its features hap…

Mozilla has allowed itself to be swayed by a miniscule but vocal minority. A group of rabid political activists hell-bent on shutting down any and all political discourse that doesn’t agree with their ideological bubble. Dissenter is nothing more than a comments section site. No different Disqus,…

I dont use this plugin, but immediately see its importance, especially as the modern world makes a dramatic left turn towards totalitarianism. To be frank I would be completely surprised to hear a coherent reason why such a plugin would be removed from easy access via addons.mozilla.org . Of course…

From what I understand it was removed due to a hit-piece written for the Colombia Journalism Review https://archive.fo/sWxAS , and mozilla knee-jerk removed it rather than actually finding out if it broke any rules.

The future of web is not open at all. Open should mean Open To All. To be free and all inclusive. Journalists like Assange? Arrested. Addons like Dissenter? Banned from Mozilla repository. Youtube comments? Going to be removed sooner than later. Twitter and Facebook deleting accounts of people …

Was killing my self wondering why my dissenter was no longer there…and I found out that Mozilla “the free speech browser” has shutdown our ability to speak and comment about pages and links freely…this attack on free speech will not do…I have been with you since the time you first started back in th…

Firefox is not the “Free speech” browser, it’s the “healthy Internet” browser. You can still install the extension. Just ask the devs to use a self hosted extension just like the AMO reviewer asked them to Here is an example https://github.com/andreicristianpetcu/gab-dissenter-extension/releases/ …
