door anonymous, 7 jaar geledenI agree with the previous reviewer that the new permissions look fishy, but it seems they are not currently abused. I unzipped the add-on and looked at the source.
"Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox" is used to communicate with the UI Vision XModule used for desktop OCR.
"Display notifications to you" is used to display notifications when you have a paid subscription that is about to expire, and for displaying messages when using the desktop capture feature.
"Access browser activity during navigation" I'm not sure about, it might be needed for some functionality to work but I didn't find anything obvious. There seems to be no feature like collecting browsing activity or something abusive like that.
Of course the permissions coul be used for abusive purposes in the future so it is always best to be a bit paranoid. Even with the permission system in Firefox you have to trust the developer to an extent.

7 jaar geleden geplaatstThanks a lot for this critical but qualified response! As you found out already, the new permissions are needed so that Copyfish can communicate with the UI.Vision XModule, which it uses for desktop screenshots, for desktop OCR. Of course, you only need to install the desktop OCR module if you want to OCR outside of the web browser (e. g. from desktop apps, desktop dialogs, images, invoices, PDF,...)

- Waardering: 4 van 5door Firefox-gebruiker 12851851, 9 maanden geledenThis is a great extension. AFAIK the best OCR browser extension. One star less, because of two things:
1. It says it's open-source software (GPL), but nowhere on their site (or prefs) there is a link to the source. I can open the XPI file in my Firefox folder, but it's a good behaviour in the open-source universe to link it somewhere.
2. No dark-mode support. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it hasn't been updated since 2021. With dark-mode I mean the icon on the toolbar (should be lighter for dark-mode) and of course the pop-up window.
That said, thanks for this add-on. - Waardering: 5 van 5door Mexico84810, 9 maanden geleden

- Waardering: 1 van 5door rado84, 2 jaar geledenIDK what useful does anyone see in this extension! It keeps failing everywhere - on FB, on YT, on image hosts where you store your memes... It's always unhappy with the image size.
