User Reviews
Red Block is a helpful Firefox add-on for batch blocking or muting Twitter accounts, enabling users to manage spam and unwanted interactions efficiently. Users appreciate its flexible targeting and straightforward interface. However, it often hits limitations due to Twitter's API restrictions, such as blocking caps around 500 accounts per session and risk of forced logout or suspensions. Many report the add-on has stopped working following Twitter's domain changes and API updates, with the developer ceasing maintenance. Random errors and unreliability persist, diminishing its usefulness over time. Pros
- Effectively blocks or mutes groups of Twitter accounts, especially useful for handling spam or unwanted followers.
- Allows batch blocking or muting of up to 500 accounts per session, aiding in bulk account management.
- Provides targeting based on followers, followed accounts, or tweet reactions, offering flexible blocking options.
- User interface is generally well-designed and accessible when connected.
- Works as a successor to previous similar tools and helps with handling politically charged or spam-heavy Twitter notifications.
Cons
- Stopped working due to Twitter's API restrictions and changes, including Twitter's rebranding to x.com causing failures.
- Limited to blocking around 500 users per session; attempting to block more causes logout or account suspension risks.
- Inconsistent reliability with blocking large accounts or full follower lists; may require multiple runs to block all desired accounts.
- Errors and bugs occur randomly with certain users, causing failures or error messages during blocking attempts.
- Development has been discontinued, so no updates to address issues like x.com support or API changes. Users experience the add-on becoming nonfunctional over time.

Is Red-Block 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.
Red-Block requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Request access to the following domains: reddit.com
- High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.
Red-Block is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
