Rated 5 out of 5
by Smartik1, a year agoTo address the concern around the newly requested permission for Website Content (which also freaked me out), the code is posted on GitHub. I checked the changes, the change was made by the same guy who has been developing this since early 2023. Nothing malicious was added to the code and the data type is not what we all think it is. Here is the definition Firefox provide for the Website Content permission:
"Covers anything visible on a website – such as text, images, videos and links – as well as anything embedded like cookies, audio, page headers, request and response information."
I'd emphasize that this is separate from the Browsing Activity category, which this plugin does not ask for. The very next change committed was a check whether the game is in your library, so it is possible the permissions were for this:
"in_library": {
"message": "In Library",
"description": "Indicates that the user owns this product"
},
That being said, it would have been good if the dev explicitly clarified why the permission request is there, either on the extension install page or within GitHub to put everyone's mind at ease.

- Rated 5 out of 5by busloadmagenta, 2 months agoVery customizable and a must have for browsing SteamDB itself and Steam on the web if you want that extra data about everything.

- Rated 1 out of 5by yaghrutlu, 2 months agoUnfortunately, xPaw sold SteamDB to the owners of Nexus Mods. Those owners are the company behind the page you see when you open it, with the main title: “We acquire. We amplify. We conquer.”

Happy for xPaw, though. But SteamDB is dead now.. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20138810, 2 months ago
