Review summary

Share Backported is a versatile and configurable Firefox add-on that facilitates sharing links easily through many platforms including Gmail, Mastodon, and WhatsApp. Users appreciate its reliability, lack of ads, and active developer support. However, some dislike recent changes that added extra steps to sharing and desire support for platforms like WhatsApp Web and Wordpress. The sharing popup window size and minor bugs, such as URL encoding issues and interference from other extensions, were also noted. Overall, it remains a valuable tool despite these concerns.

Pros

Supports various sharing platforms including Mastodon, Shaarli, and WhatsApp.
Highly configurable with options to add custom links to unknown sites.
Developer is responsive and maintains the add-on well, keeping it compatible with Firefox updates.
No advertisements and generally stable through Firefox updates.

Cons

Sharing format changes led to more steps for some users compared to previous versions.
Lack of direct support for sharing to platforms like WhatsApp Web, Facebook Messenger, and Wordpress.
Popup window for sharing is too small, making it hard to preview content before sharing.
Some buggy integrations, such as WhatsApp sharing, and interference from other extensions.
Encoding issue where percent characters in URLs convert to '%25'.

2024-03-19	Ti*****	Why did they change the format of sharing with friends, etc... loved that... not impressed with new format and have to do 2 steps to do what I did before in just one and that's why you got 4 stars and not 5 :(
