Hello,
I haven't been able to use Greasemonkey/Unfriendfinder for a while because
my McAfee warns me and stops me from downloading the new script.
I am sent to this page:
https://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/https%3A//www.unfriendfinder.com/unfriend_finder.user.js/-?pip=false&premium=true&client_uid=653568879&client_ver=3.6.1.193&client_type=IEPlugin&suite=true&aff_id=0&locale=sv_se&ui=1&os_ver=5.1.3.0&ref=safesearch
If I go to unfriendfinder.com I also get a warning message from McAfee
saying that they have found suspicious things on that page that could be
bad for me.
What is all this?
Is Greasemonkey/Unfriendfinder trying to do bad things to us?
If not, why are they not reacting to McAfee's warnings and make necessary
changes??
Russell
Unfriendfinder isn't available anymore. Quotation from their page:
The social network asked the removal of the extension because it
violates its terms.
Specifically, Unfriend Finder injects unauthorized code into the
social networks's source code in order to alter the way that the
webpages are rendered in users browsers
It adds unauthorized links to users' bookmark sections;
And posts unauthorized notifications regarding which users have
"unfriended" the user or "ignored" his or her friend requests.
I cannot enforce this and will cease the developement of this Extension.
Unfriend Finder has been around for 3 years, and many of you enjoyed
this, but it cannot go further.
Thank you for your support.
The first paragraph is the also reason why McAfee warned you: code
injection to alter the default behaviour of pages in a manner that users
cannot control.
A problem of UFF, not GM. It seems like in this case, UFF abused the
power of GM scripts to perform unauthorized actions.
