Feb 24: I am reviewing this list as a significant number of the extensions are defunct or have become unnecessary, excuse the dust.
These are fan-made extensions for Fallen London. Our current position on extensions:
-
These extensions are third party and shown as-is. There is no official support for them, your mileage may vary and you use them at your own risk.
-
If you encounter problems with them (or any aspect of the game while you have them enabled) please remove the extension(s) and try again before contacting support.
-
Updates to the game may break these extensions, and the responsibility for updating the extensions falls to the individual who created them.
*We will not add these functions to the game. They are optional extras, so don’t ask. :)
We reserve the right to remove this post or change our position on this at any time.
All that being said, here is a list of the browser extensions we have whitelisted for Fallen London!

Submitting an extension for whitelisting
To be whitelisted, an extension needs to be:
- Atomic: The extension does one thing, or a well-defined set of closely-related things.
- Functional: It does the one thing well.
- Well-documented: It’s clear about what exactly it does.
- Feature-complete. The extension is basically done, and future releases will be bug fixes or updates to track changes to the game.
These requirements make it reasonable for us to maintain the whitelist itself, evaluate new extensions, and make it less likely that players will contact us regarding bugs which are caused by a feature of an extension (this does happen, and can cause quite a bit of lost time). Again, we’re a small team, and we want to focus our time on making the actual game.
We’ll also reject extensions for various reasons:
- Technical issues, bugs, or poor interactions with game features – including upcoming game features that you might not know about
- Inserting content into the game, or altering existing content (including game text, metatext, ads, sidebars, and so on)
- Displaying messages or text to the user that aren’t clearly marked as coming from the extension
- Behaviour that we think is likely to create support requests for us; for example, changing the UI in a potentially confusing way
In truth, this is determined on a case-by-case basis. The whitelist answers the question of whether we’re comfortable with players using something and are willing to give it explicit approval.
To submit an extension for adding to this list, please create a thread for it including all necessary information (including a clear and to-the-point single line description of its function), marked ‘pending approval,’ and then email the link to enquiries@failbettergames.com.
