Reviews for Adaptive Tab Bar Colour
Adaptive Tab Bar Colour by Eason & Yue
Review by Gen
Rated 4 out of 5
by Gen, a year agoInteresting idea. Advanced settings are not as advanced as I would like for this to be actually usable. Time delay settings would be nice or a setting to wait until the tab is finished loading. Lots of false changes when the site is redirecting and flashing when it could be resolved by waiting a second. Turning off Dynamic Update of the tab color still sometimes has the tab color update, maybe when opening a new tab, but still distracting and against my wanted behavior. Amazing attempt, maybe Firefox's design disallows the true potential of this idea. I want a browser to do this seamlessly now.
Edit: appreciate the response!

posted a year agoHi Gen, thanks for the thoughtful feedback! I see how a time delay setting could help reduce false changes, and I’m considering adding an option for that. I’ll also look into the issue with Dynamic Update. Appreciate your support and insights!

- I checked all the scripts in the .xpi file locally on my device and confirmed for myself that the extension only reads local CSS and does not contain any outgoing tracking or telemetry code.
But since I’m already creeped out, I’ll turn off auto-updates and recommend others do the same :) I hope permission can be bypassed in the future.
Edit: Indeed, that'll definitely save some time XDDeveloper response
posted 21 hours agoHi, scumhero. Respect to you for checking the code! Alternatively, you can also build the add-on from the source code on GitHub and compare it with the .xpi file :) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 5639510, 2 days agoStarting with version 4, the tab bar and URL bar on the Quick Dial-startpage no longer change color. That's why I'm back to using version 3.3.2.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kai, 3 days agoI was skeptical when a recent update required all-site permissions, and it turns out the extension has now been suspended for violating Mozilla's policy. While I'm not sure why the developer made that choice, it is truly unfortunate.
Could they have been unauthorizedly misusing user data? Personally, I don't believe full website access is necessary just to change themes. It actually functioned perfectly well without those privileges in the past.
Either way, it's a pity that we've lost yet another wonderful extension.Developer response
posted 3 days agoHi Kai, I believe there is a misunderstanding here. Mozilla didn’t suspend the add-on; instead, I manually deactivated v4.0.3. I was migrating ATBC to MV3, which is more transparent about permissions. However, a bug in that version forced ATBC to roll back to MV2, and thus the “full website access” prompt appeared. ATBC never collects any telemetry or user data, and I publish it transparently under my real name. Many apologies for the confusion. - Rated 1 out of 5by Luz, 3 days agoWas a good extension, now asks for permission to acess data from all sites, shady.
Do not recommend.Developer response
posted 3 days agoHi, Luz. Sorry for the frustration. To access the webpage content, ATBC has always required to “access your data for all web sites”. Without it, ATBC could never work. You received the permission prompt because there was a rollback from MV3 to MV2 framework. - Rated 5 out of 5by Aveen, 4 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by deadinside, 4 days agoThis was a 5 star extension until the last update. Now, access to your data for all websites is now required by default. Goodbye.

posted 4 days agoHi deadinside, thanks for trying out the add-on! ATBC utilises content script to efficiently extract colour from websites, which unfortunately requires “Access your data for all web sites”. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alfredinik, 4 days agoMolto utile e moderna. Sarebbe bello che firefox avesse un effetto glass come safari.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18899839, 4 days agoNo way this addon needs the permissions it now asks for. Very shady.
Developer response
posted 4 days agoHi, sorry for the frustration! ATBC, as always, requires “Access your data for all web sites” to be able to use content scripts on websites. v4.0 was an exception due to a mis-configuration. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19970294, 5 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by ByronTheBulb, 5 days agoAll of a sudden requires mandatory access to all web data in order to function! Why would an extension for colour would need full access to everything? This is unacceptable. I'm removing this extension!
Developer response
posted 5 days agoHi ByronTheBulb, sorry for the confusion. ATBC needs to read HTML content to extract the appropriate colour for the page. You recently received the permission request because a bug caused ATBC to be downgraded from MV3 to MV2. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17589887, 5 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Homar H, 7 days agoThank you for creating this extension; it’s been great so far! However, I’ve noticed that after the 4.0 update, the extension has been lagging significantly more than before, and the color gets stuck in a previous one. I’m not sure if this is just me, but I thought it was important to bring it to your attention.

posted 5 days agoHi, Homar H, thanks for reporting the issue. This should be fixed in v4.0.1 :) - Rated 5 out of 5by SOUMYADEEP, 7 days agoOh my goodness, it’s so good! I wonder why I didn’t discover it sooner.
