Many add-ons have somewhat spookiy authorisation requirements, such as “access all of your activity”. In many cases this is justified by it’s function, and of course there isn’t any problem with it as long as we’re sure all this data stays on your computer and isn’t shared with any remote server. How are we sure of that tho? Is there an easy way to check for each add-on ?
Thanks! I haven’t yet tried to use wireshark with a container, tho’ll keep that in mind, but I did check the code on Github (my coding knowledge is small, but not nonexistent, and it was easier once I had an idea of what to look for). The addon I was interested but wary of at the moment was Redirector, but from what I’ve seen so far it seems legit (I didn’t find any occurence of most of these keywords, or anything that seemed suspicious with the occurences of http).
