por Utilizador do Firefox 13547740 , há 8 anos Why this addon requesting access to my personal data for all sites? https://prntscr.com/hvlsf3
I don't think it's good idea. Installation process was cancelled by me. Sorry.
PS. There's no replies chain so just had to add.
If you used already built-in downloads for visualisation in status bar, your addon don't need to access my data then.
If you didn't used built-in downloads it means you used bad practice. Your addon will use more PC's resources and slow down Firefox.
Also users don't trust addons that request access to data because data may content personal information, logins/passwords, credit cards info, etc.

Resposta do programador
publicado a há 8 anosYou seem to not understand how web extensions work. The old download status bar addon didn't ask for any permissions because legacy addons didn't have a permission system.
There is no way to show a status bar currently without injecting HTML into each page, which means the addon needs access to every website you visit.
Once Mozilla adds an API that allows creating real status bars then it will not need access to all pages, but that could be months away if not longer.

- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Sopor , há 4 mesesIt seems that every Download status bar extension is out-of-date. Sad that they all are broken in different ways. 😥
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Iantuition , há 10 mesesNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Rob , há 10 mesesHow to stop it from opening a window to confirm I want to open a download please for the love of god this is so annoying.
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Sizemic-HUGE! , há um anoExcellent plugin. And love the latest (Mar 31, 2024) customization features! Amazing.
- Avaliado em 4 de 5por Herman Blume , há 2 anosIt's good, and it's really, really close to being perfect. Just wish there was an option to click the downloaded file and automatically open it.
