StackOverflow Detoxifier Firefox

StackOverflow Detoxifier

Removes some of the most toxic parts of Stack-Overflow, such as the downvote and close buttons Do you have enough karma for these tools and a trigger finger? This might help you prevent closing a question and making the community a little worse.

Features & Capabilities

It's all too easy to read a question and quickly jump to the conclusion that it's a bad question, or similar enough to another question that it's worth closing.

However, you might not have time to read the entire question and might be wrong. In those cases it's better to not close or downvote the question and leave it to another community member to take the time to make an assessment.

Or perhaps the question was bad. Even in those cases, there might be community members out there that are willing to take the time helping the poster by leaving a thoughtful comment.

This add-on works by simply removing the negative aspects of stack overlow, while keeping the truly important moderation tool intact (the report button, used for problems such as spam or abuse).

This is add-on is especially recommended for site moderators, who can close questions with just their own vote, instead of the usual threshold of 3.

Is StackOverflow Detoxifier Safe?

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.
