[–] tillinghast 9y ago ↗ Beautiful, useful extension! But honestly, who installs (and keeps) extensions like this that require your absolute trust???"Add CSS Peeper? It can: - Read and change all your data on the websites you visit."Are there really no other less permissive options for extension developers? [–] userbinator 9y ago ↗ Looking at what it does, that seems like a necessary permission and the whole point of the extension. You can always inspect the source code if you're at all unsure... [–] lobo_tuerto 9y ago ↗ Where is the link to their repository. Couldn't find one on their site... [–] mercer 9y ago ↗ Couldn't they update the extension with malicious code at a later point without you noticing?
