It’s been a while since i mucked around with browser extensions, but i assume they don’t have network access by default. Surely there is an extension with page read access and without network access, no?
Edit: this looks pretty harmless https://github.com/the-code-rider/dark-theme-extension/blob/master/manifest.json https://github.com/the-code-rider/dark-theme-extension/blob/...
- ezfe 1y agoBrowser extensions that modify webpages are just javascript code injected in the page; They can definitely access the internet.
- kennywinker 1y agoI don’t think that’s an accurate description of browser extensions. Content scripts work that way, and many browser extensions include content scripts… but not all browser extensions use content scripts. Anyway, a quick readthru of the code of the extension i linked shows it does use content scripts, but also it doesn’t do any network access.
