web_accessible_resources and UUID leaking

Closed this issue · 1 comments

i was just doing some long overdue reading on how extensions (and in turn the browser) can be fingerprinted and i see that if an ext. uses "web_accessible_resources" (and JS is enabled), it's possible for a website to get the UUID of the ext.

in the RSSPreview manifest i'm seeing "web_accessible_resources" and i'd just like to get your take on whether it may be affected by this

Bug 1405971

Hello,

Sorry for not responding earlier, I don't think I had a good take on this.

I think the related firefox bug has been fixed in the meantime (even though it still appears open, I cannot reproduce the cited behavior).

Either way I don't think this has an impact on rsspreview, or that I could do anything about it.

So thanks for reporting and sorry for the unsatisfying answer. Feel free to reopen if there are more info on this.
