Any way to install the extension without giving it access to ones data for 69+ sites? I don't want to have to go through all of them to verify it's not something sinister in there.

This extension will have the permission to:

Access your data for sites in the medium.com domain
Access your data for sites in the plainenglish.io domain
Access your data for medium.com
Access your data for towardsaws.com
Access your data for towardsdatascience.com
Access to your data on 69 other sites..."

The other sites it wants access to, listed further down on the Firefox addon page:

Hi there, have two options for it:

I want to ensure privacy and don't invade your privacy. I pick option 2. Listed domain is from community and me. Domains run on Medium platform.

Other way, if can, please pay Medium Premium. :)

redbar0n commented 2 years ago

Yeah, requiring permission for listed domains is better than requiring for all websites. But could it be optional to configure it to reduce the listed domains to the bare minimum? Maybe install it with the bare minimum (so the install warning isn't as scary), and then one could opt-in to extend the domains?

und3fined commented 2 years ago

@redbar0n I need list domain to manifest.json files. It's can't change by addons as a option.

redbar0n commented 2 years ago

oh, ok.. Then I would at least clarify at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/medium-unlocker/ why it needs to access so many pages, and why those pages specifically. To ease onboarding.
