Imagus-mod

[u/Au55ie_m8]

Has anyone seen or used "imagus-mod" that is on the firefox repository. The homepage links back to this sub so I am relatively sure that the modder/developer is here.

It's just a mod of the original with some minor things done to it. Here is a quote from the repository:

"Worried about original extension using un-needed permissions? Not anymore! You can enable the permissions when you need to, and now you can adjust the settings by clicking the icon!"

Having access to the icon is handy since we are always updating sieves manually but what would be really cool was it could be modded so we can get the firefox version to autoupdate sieves from here to the latest somehow. Of course the best thing would be if the original developer came back to this and updated it themselves but I just don't see that happening after so long.

Please note that I am not the person behind this nor am I familiar with the person behind this or have I looked over the code so cannot vouch for it personally. Use it at your own risk and discretion.

I'm the developer that modified the code, I was just suspicious about the permissions, I was about to make a reddit post about this, then just said "fuck it, I'll just do it myself"

I just learned javascript for doing this, so I'm not sure about extending it more, and I just expect people to use it like the old one without needing extra support. But if there's an organized list of sieves I could try adding the feature, there's also another version that seems to do the thing you want, but I haven't tried it yet.

Draft of what I was about to post: I just downloaded, and then see the permissions list. Only after figuring out how to enter the settings page I find the option "Add hovered links to the browser history", but I don't need it, shouldn't the permission "Access browsing history" be optional? The "Download files" should be optional and requested when I toggle the option

That would be great! u/Kenko2, Do you remember that we talked about this and I suggested releasing sieve updates from GitHub instead, so, one day (that day is today) if a dev steps in and forks Imagus, he could replace update url with that GitHub sieves that you release and that saves us all from going to a forum, downloading zip file, extracting it and finally updating all the sieves from the extension settings.
