Hi, thanks a lot for your rating. I am sorry, that the update has caused a notification prompt, which has been disturbing you. As far as I see you already researched and found our GitHub issue explaining what happened: https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/issues/171#issuecomment-3423634393

Technically, it is that the permission to access your “data on all your sites” has been there before, but only for the currently _active_ tab. Only now Firefox, surprisingly for me too, displays a prompt for that.

We are currently investigating how to deal with that issue, so I would ask for some time. It's still an open source project done by hobbyists. Rollback may be possible but could disturb users who already upgraded and there is no technical problem, after all. Also, for users who already upgraded this would not make a difference.
Anyway, I'd prefer to keep the discussion on the GitHub issue to constructively find a solution here.

The extension is fully open source, so one can verify that it respects user privacy and does not send data anywhere. You can do so yourself at https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker.

This extension also adheres to a strict and short privacy policy, which you can read in detail on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/awesome-emoji-picker/privacy/.
Furthermore, a detailed explanation of the permission this extension requests and why they are requested can be found on https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/blob/main/assets/texts/en/permissions.md.

I hope this explanation helps to explain the situation. Also note that you may, at any time, adjust your rating.


Best regards,
rugk & Teal Dulcet

    Echoing other recent reviews, the updated permissions are suspicious. Uninstalling for now.
  • by Firefox user 16069181, 17 hours ago
    The permission change is suspicious (permissions for all data); if the developer is acting in good faith, they can revert this change and disable certain features while investigating whether alternative solutions exist. It seems that discussions on the GitHub issue may offer more reasonable approaches than granting such broad permissions for a simple emoji picker.
    I uninstalled it for now. I’m a developer, but I don’t have the time to closely follow the development of this add-on, good as it may be. I’d rather keep an eye on other software that’s supposed to be more critical.

    TLDR: lol nice try

    Edit after the response: I will update my review once the permissions seem legitimate to me. If the problem is with the Firefox API, it may not be the developer's fault, although it's still unacceptable. Otherwise, the extension needs to be fixed.

    Hi, thanks a lot for your rating. I am sorry, that the update has caused a notification prompt, which has been disturbing you. However, I can reassure you: Technically, the permissions have not changed and the extension is perfectly fine.

    What happened in more detail is that the permission to access your “data on all your sites” has been there before, but only for the currently _active_ tab. Only now Firefox, surprisingly for me too, displays a prompt for that. Thus, this has been there before and still is.

    More details can be found here: https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/issues/171#issuecomment-3423634393

    Unfortunately, that permission is required by Firefox in order to load a content script, to be able to insert emojis into the page and for the experimental emoji autocorrect feature. The extension is fully open source, so one can verify that it respects user privacy and does not send data anywhere. You can do so yourself at https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker.

    This extension also adheres to a strict and short privacy policy, which you can read in detail on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/awesome-emoji-picker/privacy/.

    Hi, thanks for your rating. It's great to hear that you like the add-on. 😀

    Note that the just released version 3 of the extension now supports many new emojis and has been substantially reworked under the hood, so if you upgrade you should get your wanted emojis.
    More information on the new version can be found here: https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/releases/tag/v3.0.1

    Best regards

    This is a very useful and well-designed add-on.
    Sometimes it doesn't work immediately when invoked using the hotkey (the symbol gets selected, but the window doesn't open), hence currently only four stars.

    Danke für die Arbeit.
    Edit: Ja, da hast du recht.
    Sie ist fünf wert.😉

    Hallo Marodeur, und danke für deine Bewertung. Es ist schön zu hören, dass dir das Add-on gefällt 😀 .

    Mir ist allerdings aufgefallen, dass du nur eine 4-Sterne-Bewertung abgegeben hast.
    Daher möchte ich dich einladen, mir gerne mitzuteilen, ob dir bestimmte Funktionen fehlen oder du auf Probleme gestoßen sind.
    Du kannst dich gerne mit mir in Verbindung setzen, indem du ein Issue auf https://github.com/rugk/offline-qr-code/issues eröffnest. Vielen Dank!

    Du kannst deine Bewertung auch gerne editieren, wenn du möchtest, und ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Spaß mit der Erweiterung.

    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
    rugk

    I noticed you chose to only give a 4-star rating though.
    As such, I'd like to invite you to explain, whether there are missing features or problems you have encountered.
    Free to get in touch by opening an issue on https://github.com/rugk/offline-qr-code/issues. Thanks.

    You may also edit your rating, if you want, and I hope you continue to have fun using the extension.

    this is now the better emoji picker after the Emoji Add-on stopped working for me (just showing links instead of emojis)

    i like it, but prompting me for a rating is a very good way to make me leave a mediocre one.

    Hi, thanks a lot for your rating. I see your point of not liking voting prompts.

    I can reassure you the likelihood to see such a prompt is very low and e.g. only shown after you have used the extension sometime and not shown again if you have dismissed it once.

    As this add-on is open-source, you can also check it's source code at https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/blob/main/src/common/modules/data/Tips.js to see more details, of you are interested.
    Also notice there are other helpful tips that may occasionally been shown, but they are really kept to a minimum and many users do e.g. not know that they can help the add-on and support it by writing a review.

    I am afraid this has disturbed you and want to apologise. If you have further issues or questions, feel free to ask or suggest a feature by opening an issue on https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/issues/. Thanks.

    I hope this explanation helps to explain why it is done the way it is. As an independent add-on author I am always happy about good add-on ratings.
