- Something fishy is going on with this extension, recently I had more & more website telling me that my IP have been flagged for bot usage. I decided to investigate, and after a fews day i've seen some strange behavior on my computer :
Lot of call made to "amazon.fr" (im french) with product i've never searched and reviews product check, using some cookies stored in the browser
When I uninstalled Keepa the behavior stopped and I had no more "your ip as been flagged as bot", and to be sure i've reinstalled it and the behavior reappeared.
If you want to do the test, install any proxy, launch your browser with Keepa, go to amazon (i've done it only logged in) and let it in the background for 30 min then search for amazon domain, you will see a lot of api call made for product you never searched for.
Ill recommend any user to not install this addons, until the dev answer why it has this behavior without our autorization. - 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 12398242 님, 16일 전Very shady and manipulative price tracking. Keep in mind that the price historicals aren't accurante and sometimes are changed so items that were cheaper aren't showing or more expensive prices are shown as cheapest in the historical. Manipulative, shady, liars.
- TL;DR: The new update does not add any harmful code. I've looked at the actual code of the addon stored in the XPI file, it is still the same addon as before.
Needless to say the developers did kind of understate what these consent permissions actually cover due to the broad categories Mozilla set. While there is some odd code that listens to any and all cookie changes, it only acts on Keepa cookies. The rest is just adding an element to the Amazon site that grabs the graph stuff from the Keepa domain. Same as before, but without the consent warning.
The 1* rating is intentional so this can easily be found by people being suspicious of the change.개발자 답글
한 달 전에 게시됨Thank you for actually reading the code - that's more scrutiny than most of this thread, and your read is accurate.
On the cookie listener: cookies.onChanged is scoped to an add-on's host permissions, so it only receives changes for keepa.com and the Amazon domains - not the whole browser. The first two lines of the listener discard anything that isn't keepa.com/extension. It exists because the chart is embedded from keepa.com, and Total Cookie Protection stops that frame from reading its own cookies, so the add-on mirrors them across.
On understating: fair, and we've changed it since. Two of the three labels were wrong - "website content" (we transmit none) and "personally identifying information", which was only ever the Keepa account token and is now "authentication information". The listing now spells out what each remaining category covers. If a specific line still reads as understated, tell us and we'll fix the wording.
On the rating: we understand the logic. The cost is that the star is what the ranking and most visitors register, while "no new harmful code has been added" is the part they don't read. We'd rather that sentence were the findable one. - 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 20050815 님, 한 달 전

한 달 전에 게시됨"Authentication information" here means one thing: a token the add-on generates on your own device for your Keepa account, so the chart loads your settings and tracked products. It is not your Amazon login, not your Firefox account, and not a password. The add-on never sees any of those.
It replaced the previous label, "personally identifying information" - the list got shorter, not longer. No permissions were added. Access is unchanged: keepa.com and Amazon product pages only.
Firefox 140 introduced these labels; the code behind them is the same as it was. Full source goes to Mozilla every release and their reviewers rebuild it to verify.- 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 14320116 님, 한 달 전Started asking for more permissions, nothing really changed, devs didn't explain exactly why this happened
개발자 답글
한 달 전에 게시됨The chain: Firefox 140 made data disclosure mandatory. Our previous version declared "none", which was not accurate under the new definitions, so Mozilla disabled it. We resubmitted using the three categories named in Mozilla's enforcement notice. We then found two of those labels were wrong and removed them, which triggered a second prompt, since Firefox re-prompts on any addition even when the list gets shorter.
You're right that nothing really changed. The add-on behaves exactly as before (with bug fixes) and still runs only on Amazon product pages and keepa.com. The full explanation is now in the add-on description. 개발자 답글

I really hope this is a mistake and will get reversed.
개발자 답글
한 달 전에 게시됨The "authentication information" is your Keepa account login authentication to store your settings and enable price tracking. Nothing else.
Keepa does not track your browsing history or collect personal data. The extension only runs on Amazon product pages to load price charts, and nothing is logged or stored unless you choose to track an item. - 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 20018760 님, 한 달 전

But you decide to track more user information and cut way down the free version. No thanks. Look elsewhere, there are some really good competitors. And to think I have to now warn all the people I told to install it.

한 달 전에 게시됨Nothing about how Keepa handles data changed in this update.
Mozilla now requires every add-on to declare data categories from a fixed list, and Firefox displays them on update.
What Keepa does: on an Amazon product page it sends that product's ASIN to keepa.com to draw the price chart. It is not logged and not retained. Nothing is stored unless you choose to track a product. The "personally identifying information" line refers to your Keepa session token - a login credential for your own account, not your name or email. We think that's the wrong label and have asked Mozilla to change it to "authentication information".

I will just uninstall this shit, as if we needed more trackers.개발자 답글

The extension runs only on Amazon product pages. - Recent app updates want to track:
Browsing activity — potentially information about the websites/pages you visit.
Website content — potentially the contents of pages you view.
Personally identifying information (PII) — information that can identify you, such as names, email addresses, addresses, etc.
It didn't need it before so why now? Uninstalling.개발자 답글
