Found while browsing the web for feedback about the extension:
I may try the beta Host Grabber halvar suggested. But. I am usually last one about privacy. Really don't give a fig. But in FF, developer has to state what "permissions" are granted. The last one is:
"Access your data for all websites".
Privacy mavens, what do you say? Does he mean sites you dl from with his app? or does he mean what he says?
The extension needs to introspect the source code of all the pages to find images to download. By doing so, it could also access private information (such as usernames). It could, but it does not. The extension is only executed locally and does not send any data over internet. For the record, IHG used to work the same way. The only difference is that Firefox tells users what permissions a web extension requires.
We need to add a section to explain this on the web site.
