I love this extension but don't feel safe giving it access to all my website content.

Can it be changed to only request permissions if you need screenshots of open tabs?

kesselborn commented 4 years ago

yeah: I made everything optional as much as possible, but for this permission, there is (was? gotta check) a bug https://github.com/kesselborn/conex/blob/master/conex-options-ui.js#L255

I should probably verify, whether this is still the case and make this optional.

It's a very reasonable concern -- rest assured: no conex related data is ever send anywhere.

Cheers

It'd be nice to have a different version altogether that doesn't require all urls.

I tried to build it with web-ext build but the resulting file can't be loaded to Firefox as it says it's corrupt. Thoughts?
