[QUOTE="Wrecker4923, post: 1085811, member: 110877"] Dark reader for FF has the permission "Access your data for all websites". That's pretty much a permission to read all the pages you open, including those that may be showing secrets that you may not like to have exposed (like passwords in a password managers). In this day and age where your attacker will wait to begin the attack while providing useful services, or wait to buy the developer out, you have to weigh between the convenience that you gain, trading off with the privacy/security that you can potentially lose. Use as few extensions and software as possible to increase security. Use only the most trusted extensions that require this kind of permission. [/QUOTE]
