with every website you visit by appending

every outgoing request.

original Chrome extension, rebuilt from the
ground up for Firefox with extra features and
performance tuning.

No data collection. Nothing leaves your browser.
The User-Agent modification happens locally,
right before each request leaves Firefox. All
state (counter, trophies, preferences) lives in
your browser's local storage and is never
transmitted anywhere.
Declared formally via
data_collection_permissions: ["none"] in the
manifest, surfaced to you at install time.

- Fixed a race condition that could reset the
site counter to ~0 on Firefox startup. The
webNavigation listener used to fire before
the stored state had finished loading,
causing the saved count to be overwritten
with a fresh increment. The handler now waits
for storage to load before counting.

together as one unit.
