troch Firefox-brûker 13547740, 8 jierren lynWhy this addon requesting access to my personal data for all sites? https://prntscr.com/hvlsf3
I don't think it's good idea. Installation process was cancelled by me. Sorry.
PS. There's no replies chain so just had to add.
If you used already built-in downloads for visualisation in status bar, your addon don't need to access my data then.
If you didn't used built-in downloads it means you used bad practice. Your addon will use more PC's resources and slow down Firefox.
Also users don't trust addons that request access to data because data may content personal information, logins/passwords, credit cards info, etc.

8 jierren lyn pleatstYou seem to not understand how web extensions work. The old download status bar addon didn't ask for any permissions because legacy addons didn't have a permission system.
There is no way to show a status bar currently without injecting HTML into each page, which means the addon needs access to every website you visit.
Once Mozilla adds an API that allows creating real status bars then it will not need access to all pages, but that could be months away if not longer.

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Sopor, ien jier lynIt seems that every Download status bar extension is out-of-date. Sad that they all are broken in different ways. 😥
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Iantuition, ien jier lynNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Rob, 2 jierren lynHow to stop it from opening a window to confirm I want to open a download please for the love of god this is so annoying.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch rado84, 2 jierren lynDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Onyx, 2 jierren lynExcellent plugin. And love the latest (Mar 31, 2024) customization features! Amazing.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Herman Blume, 2 jierren lynIt's good, and it's really, really close to being perfect. Just wish there was an option to click the downloaded file and automatically open it.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Cam, 3 jierren lynOf the few download statusbar addons, this is the "best" one, but it's still obnoxious how double-clicking the download opens a separate "open file" window instead of just, you know... opening the file?

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Miyako Jones, 4 jierren lynI wished it worked like Chrome and, sometimes, it's impossible to close the bar without restarting Firefox.

- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Dorraj, 5 jierren lynIt is WAY more useful than the built in Firefox download manager, but I wish I could click it to open and I wish you could queue to open files when done downloading. Also the clear button being on the left is odd to me.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Umpahpah, 5 jierren lynUseful tool, perhaps some design is needed (too large when page size is change, but overall qute good
- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 11050938, 5 jierren lynYep. It needs single-click opening -- better yet, an "open when done" function. And a smaller footprint, at least as an option.
