Reviews for Containers On The Go

Review by ondondil
Rated 5 out of 5
by ondondil, 7 years agoIt's a great addition to Containers Extension. However, it is no longer released under GPL. Also author doesn't provide release notes.
Edit:
Thank you for the release notes. I reconsidered my opinion. This add-on deserves 5 stars despite proprietary license.
Why is open source license important to me as an user? It's because it happened too many times that I've been using some proprietary software which has been abandoned at some point or the maintainer decided to ship some crap with it and make it much worse. If something similar happens to open source software there's always someone who creates a fork and I don't end up looking for alternatives (which often do not even exist).
Edit2:
I'd like to suggest additional feature. Right now this extension provides an option to "Open link in new container" in the context menu for hyperlinks only. It would be nice to have this context menu option for selected link that is not a hyperlink, just like you have "Open link" option that Firefox gives you.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoI am new to the add-on development I don't know what are the practices.
I thought to add release notes when I have some relevant information for the users. But if you need release notes in any case then I will do that for the future. I added the release notes for the current version as "Minor code optimizations".
Can I ask you how is the license relevant to you as an end user? I see that the license may be relevant to another developer/distributor who wants to use parts of the code.
