by DarseZ, 7 years agoHello, love this add-on!
Would you be able to remove the requirement to have "Access to all data on all websites"?
It doesn't seem that you would need to require this, just the URL only...please correct me if I'm incorrect on this assumption.
Developers may say they don't use any form/login/password data but there's no way for the end user to know. Many of the revised 57+ add-ons have this blanket permission and in many cases it doesn't seem necessary...in my uneducated opinion, of course. I'm open to being schooled.
Thank you and best wishes!

posted 7 years agoHappy to address this. Honestly, I'm not sure why Firefox gives that rather scary warning. It could be because LB uses a content script to display the countdown timer and warning message within the tab, over the web page. (Content scripts can, in principle, access all data on the web pages you view.) It could be because LB requests 'tabs' permission, so it can intermittently check whether block conditions are met for all open tabs, not just the active tab. I'll look into it. In any event, all the source code is publicly available on GitHub, so you can check that LB isn't doing anything untoward!

- Rated 5 out of 5by foxtyke, 5 days agoBest way I've found to save myself from spending money, wasting time or accessing websites that suck but people send me all the time.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vlance, 5 days agoI have been using this add - on for about 3 years or so. It has done wonders for me!. While I used it to block explicit sites and one needs to have self control to actually resist the urge to reset the add on.
Great for parents, allows them to control the media exposure early on if using a PC, 'Message from self' Feature is really good. I wrote bible verses for myslef to remind that I need to be holy and all my actions on the internet reflects my integrity to that commitment. - Rated 5 out of 5by Abhishek, 5 days ago
