di witrak(), 4 anni faI fully support the previous opinion. The message of the author of All Tabs Helper wrote today:
" As of March 15, addons.mozilla.org (AMO) will require 2-factor authentication for developers to access AMO's addon developers web portal. This means that developers must have 2-factor authentication implemented in order to update addons through the web portal. So what's the big deal about 2-factor authentication, why not just do that?
2-factor authentication requires using a 3rd-party for authentication, meaning I must supply some very personal information to an organization not associated with Mozilla. So why not just do that? I give that level of information to banks and such, why not just give it to them? First of all, well, there is just something that feels plain creepy about all of this. The other thing is I don't like being forced to make my account more secure than it already is. Shouldn't it be my choice how secure it should be? If I don't want to lock my door at night, shouldn't I be able to? Mozilla, like most of the world's entities nowadays, feel they need to make me safe, whether I want it or not. Regarding 2-factor authentication, it is ironic that in order to make my account more secure, and make me more safe, I have to reveal more information about myself to the world (Anyone see the bigger picture of what's happening here?)
Possibly there are other options that don't require 2-factor, such as the addons api and updating through the command line. I haven't investigated that thoroughly. I have always said that when this becomes no fun any longer, I will stop doing it. Well when I have to start jumping through hoops and there gets to be more and more hoops, it starts not being fun anymore. And I am very clear this will not be the last hoop, and this insanity is only going to get worse. We'll see what I decide to do as far as other options go, but I just wanted to get this message out while I could still log into AMO, in case it may be the last time.
If I stop doing updates, after a time AMO may pull my addons page. I have a copy of the latest version here: kevinallasso.org/alltabshelper/all_tabs_helper-1.2.43-fx.xpi. I can't promise that it will be there forever. Folks are still free to contact me through my support email allassopraise@gmail.com.
It seems this is all just part of the handwriting on the wall. It should be pretty clear to everyone by now that we live in a society that is intent on oppressing people "for their own good." I may not just be done with mozilla addons, I may just be done with the world. After all, you can only be oppressed if you fear starving to death, but starving to death is not a problem for me.
Cheers :-) "
This is absurd!
