Graze for Mastodon – Firefox Extension

addons.mozilla.org Graze for Mastodon – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Graze for Mastodon for Firefox. Graze is 1-click follow, favorite, boost, bookmark, reply for Mastodon, no matter what instance you call home.

Has anyone tried it?

Ive been looking for something that can make following on mastodon easier and found this.

I just installed it and I really like the ability to go to any Mastodon site and click "Follow" and not having it re-direct to my personal site.

It doesn't seem to work with GoToSocial at least at the moment, which is unfortunate. Ill have to see if I can "trick" the API by making it think its a mastodon server.

Follow button works very well.

Personally, i don't trust giving full access of an account to a seemingly obscure extension, that is not open source.
And clearly the dev has no intention to make it open source. This was the form on me uninstalling it.
- Wow yikes.. I like the idea of the addon but that attitude is just nuts and uncalled for IMO. NOTE: to clarify I mean the developers response
  
  The option was also called "not open source / have trust issues" but i mean, no hate against the dev but i see no reason to trust it off the bat. Yeah, the response was kind of immature.
  I get open source can be stressful. for example, the summit dev not making it open since they don't want to deal with PRs/issues but at the very least make it source-available. From my POV this is a cool extension that popped out of nowhere, it's risky to trust that.
  I respect the up-frontness, though.
- Aww man....that sucks! I guess thats an uninstall for me.

  Same... it was a cool extension. :( 🫂
- I mean, I like the extension. But holy hell, what open source did to you?
- I like that the dev is clear in their intentions towards open source atleast lol Working in groups sucks 😂
  
  I respect how up-front it was at least. I mean, i would've prefer at the very least to make it source available to see if it's trustable, but it's his choice, i guess.
  
  Yeah, introverts HATE open source.
