av Sa Ahm, för 4 år sedan'Search by Image' extension used to be and still is a fantastic extension, so truly thanks to the Developer for all their hardword, and Firefox too for it; still 5-star for that. But now it's asking for 'Mandatory Clipboard Permission' [i.e. not Optional].
I know the github explanation says it already has access to ALL data on ALL websites, so not a new concern, but forgot to consider that it does NOT have access to Firefox "Private Window" for banking transactions and other sensitive browsing. Moreover, 'Mandatory Clipboard Permission' fetches data from outside the Firefox, access system-wide and not limited to image-only... i.e. all text and everything, which makes it hugely vulnerable for passphrases or other sensitive data to be used inside "Private Window" anymore...
Prior Disabling and later RE-enabling extension before and after every banking transaction is not a good or practical option, neither keeping to using the older release and never updating... Some vulnerable permissions such as all system-wide 'Clipboard' access need to be enforced by Mozilla to be kept as 'Optional' and initially 'Disabled'... especially when something Firefox / Mozilla itself 'Recommends'; it's absolutely important to consider to avoid uncertain possibility of security and privacy breaches via firefox or its recommended extensions.
Again, please Developer, please don't think I'm unreasonably complaining, or undermining your fantastic effort that you give for the world, really really appreciate your works, but please please consider various scenarios and possible dangers in it. Thanks a ton, again.

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Darkmaster006, för en månad sedanAn excellent add-on, amazing! Lately, for some reason, it seems it doesn't work when you open images in firefox from a computer directory, any ideas? Thank you. EDIT: Fixed with the answer, thanks!
Utvecklarens svar
postad för en månad sedanIt's a new security feature in Firefox 153, you now need to give file URL access to the extension to continue searching with local images opened in a tab.
Please go to about:addons, click on Search by Image to open the extension's details and visit the "Permissions and data" tab to find the optional permission. The relevant permission is "Access local files on your computer", which is poorly named in my opinion, and will surely confuse and alarm users.
The same permission is named "Allow access to file URLs" in Chrome, which is much less vague and alarming.

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av ebayybe, för 3 månader sedanGreat extension for anyone who frequently needs to check image uniqueness or find original sources. A huge plus for being able to customize the list of search engines (Google, Yandex, TinEye, etc.) and search either via a single engine or all of them at once. Works flawlessly.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 19958549, för 3 månader sedanVery BAD. — Tried to use 1 image with "all search engines". — It opens all kind of tabs, I thought it would be centralized. — And some sites being Asians, they're searching for Asian things that are absoutely OUT OF SUBJECT to my research… — Also uses Firefox notifications for everything, whereas they take time to disappear (not intuitive at all).
