The reason why this extension deletes data in them is to avoid mixing of trackers of different accounts
I still can’t provide this for Firefox because this was developed with manifest v3 which is not supported by Firefox yet
I will see what I can do, I am going to be honest, I didn’t look at safari’s side but if that supports manifest v3 and the code used here then you can already use it, otherwise changes are needed. I will take a look at this tho
I agree with this, I couldn’t really understand where their issue is in the code.

How is this not safe, you run the code yourself, no 3rd party requests in the source, only way you could get compromised is if someone was using your PC, and in that case, they most like have your login anyways since it will most likely be stored to browser, all this does is skip the login process.

It’s unsafe if you open up your cookies and show somebody. Or, somebody manages to hack into this plugin, edit the source code, update it and have it upload your cookie information. The safety of this plugin is almost entirely up to the person using it.
Do you think this plugin would be edited to store cookies on some server for malicious use? I guess it’s possible, but for now it’s open source. You could just download it and never update it, so you know it won’t upload your data.

Unless someone manages to get access to edit the repository this can only happen locally and so it’s your responsibility
Neither thinked to that while developing it as I knew that as it is now it would’ve got criticized a lot even if it was safe

Isn’t there already one on the CWS?
Chromium makes it very easy to get access to the plugins files, and this probably includes data stored by the plugin. This is a legitimate concern if a virus was to get on your computer.
Well the same risk applies to the .ROBLOSECURITY cookie then
Oh well i didn’t know about that
Well but this doesn’t directly apply to my extension. So still the practices used by this extensions are the ones that looked safer to me
Not to worry - the developer forums resources section isn’t a place for competition, despite many users here making it out to be one. Just keep doing what you’re doing and improving as you go!

Interesting concept. Does this currently support Mozilla Firefox?

Unfortunatelly not, Firefox doesn’t support manifest v3 yet so i need to convert it to v2
Update: The Firefox version is available as of 1st July 2022

It is also easy to access the .ROBLOSECURITY with a virus. There are cookie grabbers that launch when the Roblox game launcher runs. You can’t blame him for this-- it isn’t his fault. It also isn’t hard to avoid malware, just use common sense and don’t run FREE ROBUX 2022 REAL OMG.exe

That’s what I imagined. Is it possible to contribute to the extension via GitHub PRs? If so, do you have any guidelines for doing so? I would recommend including a CONTRIBUTING.md file, and 100% a license if so.
Yes pull requests are welcome. I will include a contribute.md file, thanks for the suggestion!
Great! Also make sure to add a license, otherwise it gets very hairy when it comes to the IP. Literally almost any FOSS one will work, I prefer to use the GNU Public License (not legal advice; read the terms and make sure they suit your needs).

Added CONTRIBUTING.md 
. I need to think about the license and choose the one that fits the most.
Released new version with minor fixes. I am working for compatibility with Firefox.
Please note that if you remove the extension from the browser it cannot remove the copied cookies, so before doing that remove each account you saved.
