by Firefox user 13437159, 8 years agoThere is really no excuse for having one's addon obfuscated. In fact, Tampermonkey is the only addon I know of that deliberately obfuscates its code! That brings the question: what are the developers trying to hide and why?
If you don't want anybody else to fork your extension, just release it under a restrictive custom license, and everybody will be happy. There is no way somebody could abuse such a license and benefit from it. So we'll be looking forward to a release w/o deliberate obfuscation!

Either there is nothing hidden besides the concrete implementation or neither the Mozilla Add-on review team, nor the Opera extension review team, nor the Windows Store team did their job.
> There is no way somebody could abuse such a license and benefit from it.
In a perfect world: yes.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cronodoug, a month agoIt would be wonderful if you could backup your scripts before a creator updates them andTampermonkey updates them WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION! I can't get the first version of a script anymore, because the creators of this extension must think that everything that is updated is better!

- Rated 1 out of 5by NanderTGA, 2 months agoWell-designed addon, but I find that it's a shame for it to have gone closed-source 10 years ago. No thanks, I'll switch to ViolentMonkey, which I can read the code of and modify as I please.
