Simplify Mastodon Firefox

Simplify Mastodon

Simplify and enhance the Mastodon web interface.

Features & Capabilities

LIMITED BY DEFAULT:

  • Firefox doesn't enable :has() in CSS by default (which this extension uses a lot).
  • So to get the full functionality on Firefox, you have to enable this flag under about:config: layout.css.has-selector.enabled
  • More info here: https://caniuse.com/css-has

FEATURES:

  • Centers content (puts posts into cards with space between them, dims actions until hover, hides title bar on scroll, puts left and right columns at edge of window)
  • Puts compose and search on right, minimized to an icon unless in use
  • Puts nav on left and minimizes to icons unless you hover
  • Hides trends and nav items I don't think are useful (Local, Federated, Favorites, Bookmarks, and Lists) -- might add a way to expand or customize this in future

DISCLAIMERS:

  • Works on top ~300 Mastodon servers (but it may not work on yours; I'm trying to find a better way to make this work on a product that could be on thousands of different domains)
  • Does NOT currently do anything on the multiple column view (aka Advanced Web View)
  • Does NOT currently do anything if your window is < 1175px wide (where the UI shifts)

Is Simplify Mastodon 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.

Simplify Mastodon requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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.

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