von KGBEER, vor 2 JahrenInteresting enough this addon is promoted as the following.
=====================
FEATURES:
...
- Substital is passive by default and won't inject anything in the pages you visit. Only YOU decide when to add subtitles to a video.
=======================
Developer says, "it WON'T INJECT ANYTHING in the pages you visit"
but here he states the EXACTLY OPPOSiTE twice.

He says,
.......No, Substital cannot work with only the activeTab permission. The reasons is that WE INJECT ELEMENTS IN THE PAGE that need broader permissions to be able to work, like for example the area where users can search for subtitles.
FIREFOX ADDON STAFF also states the following.
==================
This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.
===================
And the developer wriote the following.
Hey! No creepy stuff under the hood :) Substital for Firefox was manually reviewed multiple times by persons from the Mozilla Firefox Add-ons team. It's a pre-requisite to be published here in the store. If there would be creepy stuff under the hood, it would not be published.
To anyone who understand just a little bit of technology it is clear that this addon may had many changes in his code since its publishing which may or may not include any unwilling code behind.
Currently it's given permissions to access any page opened or maybe stored in your browser, not just the tab with the video opened.
Not forgetting the contracdition in developers words of not injecting anything in the page(as stated above it may include any page in your browser)
So be careful if you want to use it.

Antwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 2 JahrenHi! We understand your concern, and it's a very valid one. Unfortunately we need these permissions for Substital to work properly. But as we move to Manifest V3, we would like to find ways to not need these permissions anymore. Moreover, as I said in other replies, a lot of popular browser extensions are also using the same permission as Substital:
AdBlocker Ultimate: Access your data for all websites
Grammarly: Access your data for all websites
LastPass Password Manager: Access your data for all websites
uBlock Origin: Access your data for all websites
To be noted: those extensions even require a lot more permissions than Substital for example. Some extensions can be complex and unfortunately those permissions are required.
To clarify, we inject Substital (elements in the page to detect the videos, to choose and load subtitles, to modify subtitles settings etc.) only when the user interacts with the Substital extension icon on the top right of the browser, unlike other extensions where scripts are automatically injected in the pages without any user interaction, or without the user even knowing. This is what we meant by "Substital is passive by default...".
As for the notes about the monitoring by Mozilla; for each new update, it is required for us to provide and upload the entire source code. The Mozilla team has always access to the entire source code of the extension. The source must be clear, readable, and nothing must be minified or hidden. And they DO monitor it, as we sometimes have to fix some issues they find.
There's absolutely no way to hide anything in the extension from the Mozilla team. The way the process works is that they build the extension on their side using the entire source code we provided to them, and they compare it with the packaged extension we submitted to the store. If it differs even by a tiny bit, they would reach out to us.
I hope I answered your interrogation. And happy to answer any question you may have :)

- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Rafael Cordeiro, vor 5 MonatenIt was very good, but since a few weeks ago, it started asking to become a VIP member of opensubtitles, and it wont load any subtitles at all. Devs, can you fix this?
- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon yardsards, vor 5 MonatenExtremely useful add-on. An absolute life-saver for me as a disabled person. However, the search for subtitles feature no longer works, just asks to become a VIP member of opensubtitles. Perhaps find a different provider to source your subtitles from?
- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon AWAT-IR, vor 6 Monatenthaaaaaanks your add-on is the only way I can host movie nights without having to download each video I want to stream. Thank you so much
- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon vimehemii, vor 6 MonatenI can't thank you enough. Your add-on has helped me breach the language barrier in my long distance relationship and thanks to you, we can enjoy all kinds of movies together, whether in English, Japanese or any other language. As Japanese-subbed movies and TV shows are incredibly hard to find online, your add-on is the only way I can host movie nights without having to download each video I want to stream. Thank you so much for making my life easier. Lots of love and happy holidays!
- Bewertet mit 3 von 5 Sternenvon Cyber Ceel, vor 7 MonatenSadly I have to edit my 5 star review because since some time in December, this extension no longer works properly. No matter what subtitles you select, the only subtitle that you get is a subscription demand for some subtitle site.
Very unfortunate, it was working perfectly before.
Update Feb 2024: Substital now works again but is subject to the opensubtitles API limit. Not ideal, but it's something. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon The Sighing Dutchman, vor 8 MonatenExcellent add-on!
It does exactly what i need it to do.
I tried another one before this, but that one failed on all fronts.
(+Sub i believe it was called, not sure though) - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 18003467, vor 10 Monaten
- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Mar2ck, vor einem JahrWorks well for youtube. I use whisper-ctranslate2 to generate subtitles for Youtube videos and this extension lets me use those subtitles directly in the browser.

- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 17916458, vor einem Jahrworks well, only issue is that you can't save synchronization settings so you have to always put it again when next episode starts which is annoying, also option to move the subtitles would be great.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Gaia, vor einem JahrTotally did not understand how the heck this should work. The add-on shows that there's a video running, I click for the subs, nothing happens. Repeated again and again and again, still nothing happened. Basically useless.
