Thanks for the suggestion. Here is source code of UntrackMe: https://framagit.org/tom79/nitterizeme GNU IceCat has a few other useful extensions, https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ but none similar in feature. If someone would like to reuse some code to write such an addon, would maybe be partly similar to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pageexpand/ or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-redirect/, whose download buttons actually are a renamed .zip archive. -- Svetlana Tkachenko, Associate Member of the Free Software Foundation = Gryllida, Volunteer for the Wikimedia movement in English and Russian http://www.wikimedia.org http://www.fsf.org http://www.gnu.org
