Absolutely NOT cool! Uninstalling due to new permissions!

Uninstalling due to new permissions

Asking new permissions to get personal infos sadly. Used it for years, time to remove another filthy addon from someone one wants to make money behind your back selling infos. Let's find an alternative ...

Installed this as a replacement for Honey's price tracking, and now they want permission to collect my data as well. No thank you, I'll use the old version until it stops working.

It just asked for mandatory permission to track my activity, my personal info, and more.
Unacceptable and uninstalled.

While the extremely worrying "new" permissions may just be an artifact of Mozilla new categorizing for disclosure, the module still seems to go behind the user's back using his browser to execute unrelated requests for it.

Whether this is abnormal in relation to Mozilla or Amazon guidelines, and GDPR, and the requirements for the developers, I cannot properly evaluate, but I'm still concerned about.

I would encourage the developers and users to eg read Wladimir Palant's blog post titled "Data exfiltration in Keepa Price Tracker".

Do NOT post BAD reviews if you are not aware of this information (from Keepa support):

"Nothing about how Keepa handles data changed in this update. Mozilla now requires every add-on to declare data categories from a fixed list, and Firefox displays them on update.

What Keepa does: on an Amazon product page it sends that product's ASIN to keepa.com to draw the price chart. It is not logged and not retained. Nothing is stored unless you choose to track a product. This unfortunately triggers the "collecting browsing history" permission.

The "personally identifying information" line refers to your Keepa session token - a login credential for your own account, not your name or email. We think that's the wrong label and have asked Mozilla to change it to "authentication information".

The extension runs only on Amazon product pages."

Do not blame Keepa for things required by Mozilla.
This kind of "issue" also happens On Google Play.
I'll keep using this addon!

randomly asks for invasive permissions without any saying about it would even need them to work

Privacy nightmare

Erforderliche Datenerfassung nach Angaben des Entwicklers:

Surfaktivität
Personenbezogene Daten
Website-Inhalt

WTF is this? Aww hell nah, UNINSTALLED. NO USER TRACKING!!!!

Tracking begins! Why are add-ons that were originally good being deliberately ruined like this?

After 2 years of absence, the clown developers suddenly ask for invasive & personal tracking permissions with a sudden "bug fixes, code optimizations" update.

Out of nowhere they want to track your complete browser activity which has nothing to do with their function. Removing it.

Invasive privacy update to sell your data

EDIT: False alarm. Good informative response from the developer. Bit of a wrong move from FF.
Searching online and taking a better look at Keepa's privacy policy, it may be not perfect, but I trust it.

OLD REVIEW:
This just became a privacy nightmare. Uninstalled.

August 14, 2026: An update of this add-on asks for permission to track all my browsing activity. No way, uninstalled.

It was a great extension until it suddenly said it needed access to my browsing activity, personally identifying information, and website content, which it clearly doesn't need.

There is zero reason to collect personally identifying information.

Uninstalled due to privacy concerns and I suggest anyone reading this review does the same.

Absolutely no reason to need personally identifying information. Uninstalled.

Edit: I have adjusted my review under the understanding that this is a change in how firefox discloses data privacy. I would still advise the developers to address some still relevant concerns from Platant's blog post "Data exfiltration in Keepa Price Tracker".

Original: Uninstalling until the recent changes requiring lots of personal data collection is rolled back. There is no need for this info and hasn't been needed for years. Enshitification.
