Hello!

Last year Joey Allard was so kind to write a replacement website for addons.mozilla.org that shows only extensions under a free software license (FSF approved licenses, specifically).

Recently this tool was made available at:
https://gnuzilla.gnu.org/mozzarella/

The source code for this project is available at
https://gitlab.trisquel.org/joeall/mozzarella

This has been added to Trisquel and Parabola's default web browser,

 * Abrowser
 * Iceweasel

The project is mainly comprised of a scraper script that fetches updates from the upstream site using their public API, and a PHP front-end showing the extensions. The scraper only fetches items that are under a free license, but has no knowledge of what the extension may be for, so many extensions relate to sites we don't recommend. Correcting this would require manual filtering. Contributions are welcome!

Help us test and get feedback on this effort to increase the growth of the GNUzilla project.

Regards.
