Last month, Mozilla removed some Firefox add-ons that helped avoid censorship in Russia. However, he backed down from this decision after receiving reactions. After Russia imposed a ban on websites and advertisements offering information about VPNs, this decision taken by Mozilla had a great impact among users.
Mozilla Firefox will restore removed anti-censorship add-ons
Mozilla announced that it will reintroduce five add-ons to protect the free internet experience of its users in Russia. These plugins include censorship evasion tools such as Censor Tracker and Runet Censorship Bypass.
Initially, Mozilla’s decision to remove these add-ons was attributed to regulatory changes in Russia. However, after the reactions of users and developers, Mozilla reconsidered this decision and decided to bring back the add-ons.
While announcing this change, Mozilla said, ““We continue to support our users in Russia and around the world and will continue to advocate for an open and accessible internet for everyone.” He made a statement as follows.
In his statement to users, Edward Sullivan, the company’s community and developer relations manager, emphasized that plug-ins will be accessible again and that users should have the freedom to personalize and improve their online experiences without any restrictions.

Russia has restricted access to many popular sites and services in recent years. Sites such as Tor, Telegram, Shutterstock, some Facebook pages and Google News were affected by Russia’s censorship policy. Mozilla’s decision to restore anti-censorship plug-ins aims to facilitate users’ access to internet freedom in this context.
Mozilla’s decision is considered an important step in the fight against censorship. The company has taken on the role of an advocate for an open and free internet, standing with its users against regulations in Russia.
This move by Mozilla was welcomed not only in Russia but also by those who defend internet freedom around the world. The company states that it will continue to protect its users against similar pressures in the future.
