No, both manifest v2 and v3, but in earlier versions add-ons had to be vetted by reviewers or manually added to their account collections by users, but from v121,all extensions marked by their devs as compatible are available to everyone blog.mozilla.org/…/open-extensions-on-firefox-for…
Firefox is stricter than chrome in manifest v3 that it provides no way to request host permissions at install time, there is a onboarding page after installation of addon where you can grant permissions to hosts
There is an onboarding step for permissions in firefox version(due to more restrictions in manifest v3 than even chrome),so you need to grant permissions, unstyled UI is intended but I will add style with a minimal ui css framework in near future
It has a reasonable default of reliable privacy frontends but I may add an onboarding step(already in firefox due to more restrictions in their manifest v3 than chrome) for selecting sites
Libredirect is a manifest v2 extension (can’t be published on chrome store) and has permissions for all_urls, predirect is a manifest v3 extension and only has permissions for necessary domains
No, yes, It depends- for my simple use case of redirecting embeds and links, it is probably faster by using declarativenetapi instead of heavier webrequestblocking api
