Privacy
Your speed dial stays yours
Quick Dial NG collects no data and sends nothing anywhere. Everything stays in your Firefox profile: settings and pictures in the extension's storage, tiles in your bookmarks.
Permissions, one by one
| Permission | Why Quick Dial NG needs it |
|---|---|
| Bookmarks | Tiles are the bookmarks of one folder ("Quick Dial" by default). Adding, editing or deleting a tile changes that bookmark. |
| Access your data for all websites | Capture in a new tab takes a screenshot of the site as you see it, signed in, and Refresh downloads the page to read its title. |
| Tabs | Opens the site in a background tab for the capture and closes it afterwards; opens the dial from the toolbar button. |
| Menus | The right-click menu on the dial: new bookmark, properties, capture, settings. |
| Storage | Settings, themes and tile pictures. |
It also replaces the new tab page and sets itself as the home page. Firefox asks once whether to keep the home page; to use another one, go to Firefox Settings › Home.
What's safer than in the original
- The hidden "Capture here" feature, and the
webRequestandwebRequestBlockingpermissions it needed, were removed. - The page that Refresh downloads is only drawn, never run: it goes into a sandboxed frame, so none of its scripts, forms or pop-ups run inside the extension. Only
httpandhttpsaddresses are downloaded. - The add-on declares to Firefox that it collects no data (
data_collection_permissions: none).
