requestblock Firefox

requestblock

block cross origin request. subset of RequestPolicy (only temporary allow for origin).

Features & Capabilities

RequestPolicy can not be used in Firefox 57. requestblock is a substitute for RequestPolicy. requestblock is very simple, only temporary allow for origin.


The toolbar icon may not be displayed correctly. In most cases, reloading the current tab of the current window will correctly display it for that tab. In the case of complex sites, it seems that there is still something going wrong. Even so, except for whitelists and temporarily allowed requests, it is blocked. There is no problem with my own way of using it, so for now there is no plan to fix this behavior. However, I will respond if I get information and patches. Thank you.

ToDo:

他のウィンドウのアイコンが変化してしまう点を修正する。 ( Firefoxのウィンドウを2つ開く→ウィンドウAのアイコンの変化に応じて、ウィンドウBのアイコンまで変化してしまう )

[1] This add-on don't support <iframe>

Because it's hard to detect and block iframe requests. (I don't use this add-on whilst reading gmail.com or amazon.com)

RequestPolicy probably support iframe tags. However it doesn't support Firefox Quantum.

[2] I have no plans to improve whitelist function.

I understand that you want to use wildcard or regex in whitelist. (for example, "* https://cdn.example.com/")

But I have no plan to update this add-on. Reasons are:

  1. I don't need it
  2. It's hard to code such exceptions
  3. Too complex code will make people hard to understand what the code doing(like Adblock Plus' whitelist)

[3] I have no plans to extend this add-on's function

[1] iframeには対応していません

処理が面倒なので。 (私は、gmail.comやamazon.comを見る時、このaddonを使っていません。)

RequestPolicyは、たぶんiframe等の階層に対応しています。よくできています。しかし、 Firefox Quantum には対応していません。

[2] whitelistの強化は考えていません

whitelistでwildcardやregexを使用したいという気持ちは理解できます。 ( 例えば、「* https://cdn.example.com/」等 )

しかし、今のところ変更する予定はありません.理由は以下の通りです: ・私が必要としていない ・処理が面倒 ・複雑になって何をしているのかわからなくなる(Adblock Plusのwhitelistように)

[3] 多機能化は考えていません

このaddonを叩き台にして、あなた自身が多機能化に挑戦してください。

Is requestblock 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.

requestblock 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.

requestblock is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
