by Spadhoond, a year agoDO NOT INSTALL THIS PLUGIN. MASSIVE SECURITY RISK!
This plugin recently changed the permissions it wants you to grant it to access ALL of your data used on websites. This means this plugin can now collect cookies, passwords, whatever it wants if it so chooses. The plugin creator "assures" you it's not collecting data, but there is simply no way to be sure. I heavily recommend deinstalling this plugin immediately. The plugin didn't need said massive security risking permissions to work before, and that it needs them now is extremely fishy. My personal guess is that the creator/s bank on people just updating the permissions without reading the permission changes, to then collect user data and sell it. So. DO. NOT. INSTALL.

posted a year agoActually, this add-on has ALWAYS needed and requested the "< all_urls >" permission in order to modify requests to websites. That is *not* new, but probably you have become more security-conscious since you originally installed it. We should all be careful, and there is a support article on this: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/tips-assessing-safety-extension
If anyone prefers to install the previous version, you can grab it from the All Versions page at: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/dont-accept-webp/versions/
(What *is* new in version 0.9 is checking whether you have another add-on known to have a conflict with this one.)
For what it's worth, I still have no interest whatsoever in what you are doing in your Firefox, and there's no way for me to know because this add-on still doesn't send me any data. If you don't believe me, then don't use the add-on.
