FireShot: Full Web Page Screenshots (♥♥♥♥♥) by susbox
Review by adamhybel
Rated 1 out of 5
by adamhybel, a month agoFireShot is incredibly effective for capturing webpages, and its core functionality is genuinely useful and much appreciated.
However, I'm giving it 1 star due to a critical issue: it is closed-source. This lack of transparency is a major concern. We, the users, cannot verify the code we are running in our browsers. This presents potential security and privacy risks, as there's no way to audit the extension for hidden tracking or malicious behaviour. Trust requires transparency.
I genuinely love what this extension does, and I would instantly change my rating to 5 stars if the developers embraced free and open-source principles.
I strongly urge other users to request this change as well. Open source is vital for user security and trust in browser extensions. Developers, please consider making FireShot open-source. The concept is fantastic, but its closed nature prevents a wholehearted recommendation.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12547617, 9 days agoIt is misleading addon. It presents itself as Full Web Page Screenshots but even that most basic functionality is behind paywall. Even Firefox's basic screenshot functionality is better.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18433654, 15 days agoI am not a heavy user of Fireshot, but when I need it, I have found no other addon that is in the same league. The functionality is exceptional and it's easy to use. It does things that nothing else is capable of. I don't leave home without it. . . . :-)
