Summary

AnonymousOverflow is a Firefox Add-on to redirect all Stack Overflow links to use the redirecting service Farside, which in turn redirects to an AnonymousOverflow instance - which allows you to view StackOverflow threads without the cluttered interface and exposing your IP address, browsing habits and other browser fingerprint data to StackOverflow.

This Add-on was created for personal use, but published to comply with Mozilla’s guidelines. Original code was written by Austin Moore. This Add-on has no affiliation with AnonymousOverflow, any AnonymousOverflow Instance, nor Farside.
