I've seen a few folks join Mastodon and complain that it's too difficult to follow people on other servers, with the cutting and pasting and whatnot. But @bramus has now created a neat Chrome extension (or bookmarklet, if you prefer to go that route) that let's you avoid all that hassle.

I just tested it out... by following @bramus with it!

@mmasnick @bramus Is there a Firefox version?

@rogueren @mmasnick I've got something experimental up on https://github.com/bramus/mastodon-profile-redirect/tree/firefox

Requires manifest v3 support, so you need to enable `extensions.manifestV3.enabled`

Will try and submit that version today.
