"Emote Set Update Notice" do not working

nice going devs, not knowing how app permissions work.

never going to update the extension; i'll just be a lurker from now on.
it now asks permission to view all of your browsing data and the contents of all pages you visit.
DON'T INSTALL THIS SPYWARE!!

The authors of 7TV refer to this article: blog.mozilla.org/addons/2025/10/23/data-collection-consent-changes-for-new-firefox-extensions/

This change took power on November 3rd. However, the last time I updated the extension was on 14th of November (you can see it by clicking RMB on the extension, then 'manage extension'), which proves their reason is made up.

while it does work well (at least on twitch it did for me, cannot vouch for other platforms), this extension views/collects ALL of your browsing data and the contents of ALL web pages that you visit!
I understand it is needed in order to display your emotes and whatnot but in my opinion the devs should read out the relevant websites ONLY, not ALL of them.
Totally ridiculous, if you ask me.
I take my privacy quite seriously, hence my 1-star rating. Obviously, I've also uninstalled it.
Until the devs change this, my review shall remain neutral.

Edited on 25 May 2026:
Developer(s) have responded to my concerns - if what they claim is true, this is quite unfortunate.

Bumping up my rather negative 1 star to 4 stars.
I wish Mozilla would allow granular control over what websites are read/transmitted, meaning that this extension has to read any and all websites - it is something that the developers have no control over, sadly. They have come forward explaining what they collect and why, and I'm quite happy with that. The extension does work well, and if you cannot live without your animated emotes, well then you have no choice.
I also realised my negative sentiments are better directed at Mozilla and how they have implemented their data consent flow.

Thank you for responding @7tv team, I appreciated that.

Extension broke chat box so you have to update it and give your data as part of the update.

Had to uninstall and reinstall to get chat input back

What is the reason for the change in the new collection of data? With how the internet is today I chose to disable the extension instead, if it's a final change I won't be using the extension anymore

С новым обновлением запрашивает разрешения на сбор данных:
Разработчик сообщает, что это расширение собирает: интернет-активность, содержимое веб-сайтов
Это означает, что расширение имеет полный контроль над вашими действиями в браузере. Оно способно перехватывать и анализировать историю посещений, поисковые запросы, переписку, а также конфиденциальные данные, включая логины, пароли и банковские реквизиты, вводимые на любых сайтах.
Удаляю и остальным советую.

breaking twitch chat type box

This extension is amazing, and I hope the devs don't pay too much attention to the hate from the unannounced twitch update <3

thx 4 fix

bit of a slap in the face for the the main extension to fully break the send message box while advertising a new closed source version lol
