ToXCancel Firefox

ToXCancel

By: gturri Add-on
Redirects to a mirror of x (ie: an instance of Nitter) when the browser is about to load an x.com page

Features & Capabilities

ToXCancel automatically redirects visits to x.com and twitter.com to a mirror of X, such as a Nitter instance. This makes it easier to read threads and browse tweet replies without signing in or having an X account.

The add-on helps users access public X content through an alternative interface while avoiding direct navigation to the main X website.

User Reviews

Please, revert the change, XCancel is back. The other nitter instances are severely limited. I'd rather always be redirected to XCancel, even if it goes down. That's why I installed this extension.

Sad that XCancel was closed recently, but I loved this extension!

Is ToXCancel 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.

ToXCancel requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Allows the extension to observe and analyze traffic in flight for the selected hosts.
  • 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.

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