From the warning before installing in FireFox:
Add SingleFile? This extension will have permission to:
- Access your data for all websites
- Input data to the clipboard
- Extend developer tools to access your data in open tabs
- Download files and read and modify the browser's download history
- Access browser tabs
... all of which I don't mind, as long as the extension can't exfiltrate any of the data it can access (send it to a third party). i.e.
- no network connections from the extension
- no modifying web pages or executing any code in the context of a web page
Does anyone know whether these sorts of extensions can exfiltrate data? -- this is a concern if the project author's credentials are stolen by a threat actor, which has happened before.
