My Android browser has an add-on that is no longer accessible online. Can it be exported? (programming.dev)

I didn't keep the .XPI file, unfortunately. Is it possible from a phone's file structure to export or even build this from(/out of?) a currently installed add-on that can no longer be (easily) downloaded?

Rethink is okay but buggy and thus leaky. GrapheneOS also has a network permission which is tremendously useful, also from a security perspective.

E.g. your keyboard shouldnt have internet access, or it might likely send all your input to their servers for "necessary analysis" lol

I have never heard of Rethink being buggy. Where was this discussed? An alternative is KarmaFW, though it's not as sophisticated And yeah, I use HeliBoard; it's great.

I tried Rethink recently, it is not reliable as a VPN, as it doesnt allow to block connections if the VPN connection is cut

@boredsquirrel @Flagstaff mine rethink installation was dropping my connection to the VPN constantly. It's really not reliable. I've managed to block Samsung garbage in the pihole

Hmm, thanks... What VPN do you prefer? My only good one is Windscribe, I think.
