Features & Capabilities

OverbiteNX is an experimental Firefox addon designed to seamlessly enable legacy Gopher protocol access in Firefox 59 and above. By utilizing the Onyx native Gopher component, it bypasses WebExtensions limitations allowing direct network access to Gopher resources. This free and open-source tool supports Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

Though experimental and primarily meant for advanced users, OverbiteNX provides a bridging solution for those preferring not to rely on third-party HTTP-to-Gopher proxies. Installation involves adding the extension and downloading or building the Onyx component. Users are advised to disable the OverbiteWX addon if installed to avoid conflicts. While in development, users may encounter debugging logs and some limitations like proxy support absence and internal URL representation in the browser bar. OverbiteNX promotes continued access to the fast and useful Gopherspace services with full network connectivity.

Is OverbiteNX Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

OverbiteNX requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

OverbiteNX has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
