RE: Which App Do I Use to Make the Most Out of Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

Best chrome plugin so far is - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/steemit-more-info/dcbpmclnlapbkgkddhencielibcjogcf

It pretty much has everything you could ask for that makes the layout better on steemit and also the information many other sites provide but just place it directly on the site.

Sort:  

I don't know why but I'm super worried about chrome apps and the possibility to get my password stolen from them.

I think that is the reason you clearly mentioned, "you'll need to use apps that people have built on top of the STEEM blockchain to help you."

Safety is clearly not the forte of chrome plugins, and with hackers getting smarter by the day the question is not "will my password get stolen?' but "when will my password get stolen?" the answer to which is, anytime.

I rarely use chrome plugins and a chrome plugin for steemit? i'd pass on this one.... i believe @cryptoctopus is right; great share too!

Well that's exactly the reason why I haven't used any of those yet. Basically they are all scraping the pages. Click on your wallet, check you private keys and they're caught.

I don't think the extensions were developed with bad intentions in mind, but it's just too risky and bad practice I think.

Yeah I don't blame you honestly it does not require any login info but then again you never know what information it could be pulling. I am sure the 10 apps I have running on chrome surely does not speed things up either lol btw I love steemwhales and also steemnow seem to be my two major go tos at the moment.
