My Reviews
Bamboo Feed Reader
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I went into this expecting a fairly typical addon like Sage, which I had used for years. I switched to Pale Moon and decided to check out current feed readers. Bamboo blew me away. It can discover feeds from any of your open tabs, with customizable homepage URLs and titles for the feeds. Sage was a quality extension but Bamboo takes it to the next level. I look forward to tuning my browser flow around this extension.
OverbiteFF
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
If you're tired of the winding tunnels of trying to navigate the Web in a safe manner, tired of advertisements, and/or tired of corporatism taking over spaces that are supposed to be community-oriented, try this add-on. There are known Gopher portals for places like Wikipedia, so you can still access some useful places over Gopherspace. Additionally, the protocol is very simple and hosting your own gopherhole is incredibly easy. I've considered moving all of my articles and text content to the protocol, and the experience that Overbite provides is a large part of that.
The only thing keeping me from awarding a 5-star rating is a lack of clear documentation on creating themes, and seemingly no option to select text encoding. Some gopherholes use UTF-8, and it'd be nice to be able to set that as the default. It's possible to change it on a temporary basis using Firefox's built-in View -> Text-Encoding menu option, but it doesn't stick.
Overall, a fine extension that covers 95% of what you would need it for in terms of a Gopher browser.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
