Issues with some of the Web Browser add-ons.

Could you name examples?

Aniweather does not work for my area, even after restarting my browser as the add-on suggested.

Better YouTube doesn't put the button on the YouTube video you're watching for easy download.

Just quick examples. If you get these to work, let me know.

I have used AniWeather for a while and it most certainly does work in my area. Strange...

I haven't tried better YouTube yet.

I was the one who added most of the add-ons to the list. You are right. Quite a few won't work. Some have not been updated in a long time and are incompatible w/ the current version of browser we are using. Others may have technical limitations. For example AniWeather (just a guess on my part) may be only United States centric and may not work for users outside the US. There is another sports addon on there that brings you sports scores. I suspect the same thing that it may only work for the US.

These are technical limitations of the addons themselves. Don't worry about it in that case. They are still listed because they are free software and a user who really wants to could update it themselves or the author could at some potential point in the future update it. If you can't get it to work don't sweat it. Not all will work w/ our current browser.

"Is there any future plans to pare down the list a bit?" I don't see a reason to do that. While I was working on the list there was one extension in which a developer stopped working on it and then another took over so that is always possible. Secondly, our list is about freedom (compared to the Mozilla add-ons site) so we aren't so much concerned about the quality of the addons but if they are free or not. Although maybe in the future if the list becomes too big and unwieldy and you have two addons that do basically the same thing and one is largely outdated and one is current we may remove the outdated one. That is up to Quidam.
