by Firefox user 13352008, 8 years agoWhy does a ruler need to "Access your data for all websites"?
I didn't install it so I just gave it a 2 to be fair but wanted to add this as a warning to other users.
UPDATE: Thanks for the reply and thanks for modifying the plugin to address the issue. I've changed my rating but I'll leave the initial review above so others can have context for your reply and also see how quickly your addressed the issue.

posted 8 years agoHi there,
This addon uses content-script API from webextensions API suite, which requires the aforesaid permissions. And this doesnt send or store any of your data, here is the code for this addon
https://github.com/tsl143/jsDemos/tree/master/measureIt_webext
I actually second your thought and even I find that permission intimidating, I have mailed Firefox team for same, hopefully we get a better solution.
Thanks again for input :)
UPDATE-
updated addon with different approach and without requiring website-data permissions :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by TheAlphaBoy77, a year agoIt did not work the way I expected. It just took out a random chunk of the page where my cursor was, the section was not moveable. Had to "X" out of a screen it brought up. Not at all how it was understood to act.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Marc FRANCOIS, 3 years agoWorked fine and met my expectations, but doesn't work anymore. As I click the icon, nothing happens. I removed it and reinstalled without change. What should I do? Regards, Marc
