by cdo, 2 years agoHi! Love the addon, thanks so much for your work in creating and sharing it—has been a huge help.
The addon works pretty efficiently for me, I just have some concerns about permissions—do you have any kind of privacy policy? Granting access to all site data is a big ask, want to make sure nothing is being collected beyond what's necessary for the addon to function. Thanks!

posted 2 years agoHi, happy to hear that!
About privacy, this extension collects NOTHING at all.
I defined them as follow in the manifest.json:
"permissions":
[
"storage",
"tabs"
]
1. Storage: To save settings of this extension (this may trigger the permission to access all data. However, only settings of this extension is accessed)
2. Tabs: To reload tabs when settings changes (i.e click on Apply button, check URL to blacklist websites,...).
I just follow the tutorial on Mozilla website.
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Implement_a_settings_page)
Furthermore, you can view the source code of this extension to make sure that everything is safe.
