Critiques pour FoxyProxy Standard
FoxyProxy Standard par Eric Jung
Avis de Vasili Gulevich
Noté 1 sur 5
par Vasili Gulevich, il y a 8 ansLatest version requests permissions to delete browsing data. Why proxy management software would do that?
Please move that function into a dedicated plugin and use only necessary permissions in each.
UPDATE:
I'm not worried about a plugin stealing my data. I just don't want to have a bloated do-it all plugin, that uses permissions it does not need.
I agree, that different contexts when using different proxies may be useful, but that is supposed to be done with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/contextualIdentities and not with data deletion. Even then, it's probably a scope of a different dedicated plugin.
I would also like to point out, that if you decide to remove browsing data access later, it will be a removal of a well-used feature (and much more users will come yelling), while now it is an addition of an unnecessary quirk.
To be less negative, let me say it in a different way. I adore the simplicity of previous version, with a little bit of UI polishing it would easily become my favorite plugin. Please don't take that true quality of a dedicated tool from us.

Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansSome people want to delete browsing data when switching proxy servers. Right now there is a button in FoxyProxy to delete browsing data manually, but we also want to add the option to delete it automatically when proxies are switched. Why are you so upset about it? Do you think FoxyProxy is stealing your browsing data? Because if it wanted to, it could already do that before these new permissions--simply by watching all traffic going through your proxy servers. Of course, it doesn't do that, but you are no less secure with these new permissions than before; that is my point.

Regarding the issue reported by some users that the extension cannot be used, it is suggested to try changing the value of the "network.proxy.type" setting in about:config. If the value is 0, you can try changing it to 1. If it is PAC, you can change it to 5. - Noté 1 sur 5par cxtbs, il y a un mois

- Noté 3 sur 5par daydreaming, il y a 2 moisFor almost a year now, FoxyProxy hasn’t been functioning properly. The extension keeps staying connected to the very first city that was selected during the initial setup. Even when changing the location in the settings, it still remains stuck on that original city.
The developers seriously need to investigate this issue. Me and several other users have been experiencing the same problem, and the only temporary fix seems to be uninstalling and reinstalling the extension completely. - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 18586574 de Firefox, il y a 3 mois
