I’ve actually been using this extension for a while now, and I didn’t know there was a DevForum post about it. I only knew their was a Discord Server for it which I’m already in.

Oop. It seemed I didn’t pay attention to the creation date.
Beginner’s mistake 
Anyway, great extension! Perfect for my account.

Just because your have a paid version does not mean you shouldn’t have a repository. Extensions like BTRoblox have people that also spent long hours writing the extension, and even wrote a binary RBXM parser.
I personally wouldn’t use this plugin as I do not know what is going on behind the scenes. I would like to have the ability to browse the source code of an extension that is capable of performing actions in my browser.

Just use Chrome’s Inspect Tool to see if there’s anything suspicious.
IIRC, you can’t trigger the DevTools for extensions unless 1) an exception is thrown and 2) it’s a local dev extension (not sure). Regardless, you can’t see the index file, only the background file.

Let me check myself and I’ll tell you later
So the extension has 5 stars (215 reviews) over 60k+ users and you are still saying that the extension is not safe? Then how 60k+ are still using the extension even the YouTuber named ‘SharkBlox’ said that the extension is safe and have a lot of cool features.

Yeah. I wouldn’t worry about the source code if lots of reliable references say that its safe.

Ratings can be botted. It may not be plausible in your eyes, but remember, anything is possible.
As for relying on others for clarification about source code, it doesn’t have to be noticeable for it to be malicious, which is obvious.
An example is a IP logger on a website’s backend. Will you ever know that it logs your IP address? Of course not. But does it? Yes.

This soo helpful. Things like searching the DevHub and uploading multiple images will be a game changer. Thank you so much.

Reviews and ratings mean nothing to the safety of a closed source program. It can log ROBLOSECURITY tokens in the background and save them for a rainy day, and other things.

You can in fact monetize an open source application. A popular example of this is Aseprite. You can buy it for $20, however you can compile it yourself for free.
It looks cool and all, but due to it being closed source I’m likely not going to use it. Also it seems to be only available on Chrome?

I just looked at the extension files. I found nothing suspicious.
You’re welcome.

Anything from the chorme web store you can use on any chromium based browser such as chrome, chromium, edge, brave.
Any plans on adding this extension to Firefox?
Firefox runs on Quantum, not Chromium.

I, and others, do not want to have to install an extension to view files. We should be able to find them without the need to install them, hence the reason for open-sourcing the extension.

Love this thing, I can finally play that one game I saw without struggling to find it again (already all this, i just saw this devforum post rn LOL)

I think this one is still experimental:
In other words, it is of charge.
I think you forgot that people can install the extension and check the source code anyways. Nothing you can do about it so may as well just open source it.
