RE: Steemit Notifications - Browser Extension - Download now!
I'm a little concerned about user knowledge of security when I see nothing but positive comments here. fleuri might be a perfectly ok guy but I would not trust any third-party browser extensions for Steemit whatsoever. Accounts are worth enough that it's a bad idea.
exactly what i just tried to address on steemit.chat . maybe you should have mentioned that i just wrote this on there.. asking how to make it more secure for people. if anyone here can provide a way how to properly get the extension verified/signed and make sure it represents exactly the code given on github that would be sweet and i would love to incorporate it.
until then everyone can also stress my feature request on the steemit github: https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/issues/72
so that the developers are pushing this harder. obviously this is a highly requested feature. which is why people are keen on it. anyway iam happy if we figure out a way how to make the whole process more secure and i'd be even more happy if @dan @ned and the rest of the team integrates notifications natively into the platform.
Thank u 4 the great approach.
as 4 security concerns of @pfunk, what r they? read-only access 2 publicly accessible data? give me a bake.
as long as u don't pass private data, u r on the safe
Just download the code from github and run it as an unpackaged chrome plugin in dev mode....
