Will this also affect IceRaven browser, a fork of Firefox mobile? Also, will it allows us to load extensions locally, like the Bypass Paywall Clean extension?

IceRaven, a Firefox mobile fork, shares Firefox's updates. It supports loading extensions locally, like Bypass Paywall Clean, enhancing its functionality for users. Recently, I came across https://sfrmoncompte.com/, a site that offers a treasure trove of information and resources. It's like finding a hidden gem that you can't wait to share with others.

IceRaven is a close fork, so it will almost certainly apply to IceRaven, too (maybe with a short delay).

Loading extensions from files, I would not assume to work. Even their current developer workflow requires using an AMO collection.
Someone could reupload Bypass Paywall Clean to AMO. As I understand from quick research, the DMCA takedown request was not challenged by the dev. Or you can use another paywall removal extension.

You can add the Bypass Paywalls Clean filter lists to uBlock Origin and the user scripts to TamperMonkey to get, as I understand it, almost all the basic functionality of the extension.

Is there any link I should use to follow to be able to do this?

This is the filter link you need to add to ublock for bypass paywall clean https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt

And here is the repo if you want other options https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters

Why are you downvoted? It's not correct?

I have been haunted by a bunch downvote bots recently that mass downvotes my post when I post on certain tech related communities on lemmy. I am not sure why this is happening. Since I am on kbin, I can't see the downvotes or get affected by it anyway unless I take the effort to view the post through Lemmy though.
