RE: Snax + Steem

Snax doesn't sound awful, and your post intrigued me. I had a look at downloading and installing the extension, but was stopped in my tracks when I read the permissions Chrome extensions require. That will preclude my participation in what otherwise seems a wholesome and good project.

I don't know how you feel about any of that, but I thought to mention it to you. Google is a virus, and I want as little of it as I can.

Thanks!

You need not use Chrome. You can use the open-source Chromium browser, or its many forks such as Brave.

I can use the extension. That is not my difficulty.

"...permissions Chrome extensions require."

That is my difficulty. I won't use Chrome extensions that permit the extension to access unrelated functions and data of my browser, and that means I can't use the extension.

I hope you can find a way to create an extension that obviates this problem.

Thanks!

Fair enough. Though in reality, the only permission it requires is being able to copy keys to the clipboard. The extension is also open-sourced, so you can verify that.

Also, like I said above, you can use Brave instead, if you don't like Chrome.

I'm using Brave and all is working smoothly!

I flag trash. You have received a flag.
