par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 14618955 de Firefox, il y a 7 ansMore than 20 different virus scanners (through VirusTotal.com) report Trojan malware in backend executables of this extension.
If the backend was not binary blobs but open source, users could audit the code and compile themselves. How else can you be sure that the extension doesn't contain malware?

Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 7 ansPlease bypass the error by adding ScrapBee to white list, or ScrapBee won't work without a backend executable, of course it's a miss-blocking.
UPD: So, will it reported as Trojan if you compile it yourself? Why scanners have a white list? How do you think about this?
I just removed backend source code from package in new version (you can find it in older version) because it's not needed for runtime. And I am going to host all of the codes in github.
