There is a risk when we install extensions in our web browsers... i know it was made to collect the bets information, but we are not sure if it collects other kind of data, or if it can do some other stuff like make withdrawals or tip users on the casino. Even it could change the deposit address in the casino.
Is there a chance that you make from your extension an opensource project? That way we could take a look at the code and verify if it doesn't have any kind of malware on it.
Exactly what I had in mind while reading the op, I am actually very surprised that the op said that all that is required for the tool to work is to simply install an extention, and ones we open out bet history on the casino, our bet history automatically gets imported into the Betmetrics tool even without asking our permission, this gives me the idea that this tool might as well be able to do other things not mentioned by the op..
The tool may as well be able to copy our passwords, look through our system storage and possibly be able to detect private key and seed phrases stored in the system or might even be able to send out coins from our wallet..
It's absolutely needful we ensure the safety of this tool before deciding whether or not we are using it, so if the op will allow the code of the tool to be open source, would be really nice.
That's right, the only way to do what does that addon really do is by installing it a use another addon to see the source code, and the way to do this without risk is by trying it on a virtual machine. Sadly i don’t have time to rey it this way, but it will be the right way to be sure about the seccurity on this addon.
And even if the addon doesn’t have malware on it, they could include it in an update.
