- sureIy 2y agoI don’t think people care about giving permissions to one of the most popular extensions ever. The advantages of giving that extension full access are quite clear and the dangers minimal.
- pessimizer 2y ago> I don’t think people care about giving permissions to one of the most popular extensions ever. I'm going to fail to go out on a limb and say that those people shouldn't use this version in order to avoid that, then. I suspect this extension been made available for others, like those you're replying to here.
- kccqzy 2y agoI do care. I trust Gorhill but that doesn't mean mistakes can't slip through. Maybe criminals attacked his system to steal his credentials, or maybe criminals just used old fashioned violence to force Gorhill to release a malicious extension update. Exactly because this is the most popular extension ever, criminals have so much higher incentive to take over his trusted extension to do criminal things. Of course all of us have our own assessment of trust and danger.
- somerandom2407 2y agoI care. I'll probably just switch to Brave instead of either installing this manually (risky) or using the full-blown addon (risky). The value proposition for Firefox has just diminished.
- sureIy 2y agoYou care, but you’ll probably just switch to a fringe browser that has far more permissions than an extension. Ok.
