I really enjoyed and appreciated the voting bar script you made for lower SP users. That enhanced my steemit experience and allowed me to upvote more often without draining my VP. I've been telling people about the script, getting the word out.
I still use the "hide resteem" script, it works even with the tile setting in "more info", although there are blank spaces for the resteems.
Do you see any privacy or security concerns with the "Steemit More Info" extension? @ironshield
Glad you're making use of the scripts and find them so useful! As for the "Steemit More Info", I think it's most likely safe to use, especially given all the code's on github. To thoroughly audit it though, you'd have to go through all the included javascript files and libraries.
I gave it a quick run through, and I felt comfortable enough try it out, if that's any indication. As such, you could use his extension in conjunction with my "Hide ReSTEEMs" toggle. I also noticed that it worked with the tiles as well!
Unfortunately, as I mentioned it doesn't currently work with my "Vote Slider" script, though perhaps at some point he'll consider adding some of these features directly into his extension as well.
quick note...it appears to me that the biggest danger comes from using a browser extension at all, because it could be updated at any moment to include new code. Downloading the source code and running the extension yourself in dev mode only takes a few minutes more, and it won't auto-update...so if somebody compromised my chrome dev keys or the 'steemit more info' dev keys, they could push nasty updates out automatically.
If you install the source via dev mode, that avenue is no longer possible.
nice clarification @itchykitten. That's also how I tried out the extensions, by directly installing them from their respective github repos.
