by dougg0k, 4 months agoHey, it seems like a nice extension.
Though, why the source code for the extension are not available?
How can users trust the extension without reviewing it? How can you confirm that no user data are being collected, related to google/youtube?
Not only that, but that nothing is being done from the developing to the publish of new versions.
There is one feature not yet available, that can be useful, is to have only one foreground video playing, if one is playing and another is started playing, then the previous, are paused, could you add that?

Response:
Nice.
Hm, why this is in the extension page, then?
This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.
Can you provide the url to the repository you are developing the extension, as well as the CI?

posted 3 months agoHey, I'll see if I can add your suggestion in a future release.
Extensions with more than 10k users are actually manually reviewed by Mozilla, same for
'Recommended' extensions, but you can review the code using this online tool: robwu.nl/crxviewer
Cheers.

I don't know. Someone asked them, last year, to remove that warning from all non-recommended extensions that are manually reviewed, but, unfortunately, nothing was done yet:
