** Older changelogs **
https://docs.modheader.com/whats-new/version-4.x
** Permissions **
ModHeader currently requires 6 permissions:
1, "webRequest"
2, "webRequestBlocking"
3, "<all_urls>"
4, "storage"
5, "contextMenus"
6, "alarm"
"webRequest" and "webRequestBlocking" are required in order for request headers modification to work. Because ModHeader doesn't know ahead of time which website the modification should apply to, it needs to request permissions for all URLs (3). "storage" permission is needed to save settings to the cloud. "contextMenus" is used to enable quick pause/unpause by right-clicking on the icon. "alarm" is used to periodically auto-sync profiles (if auto-sync is setup).

- Fabrice Baumann
- Used to be a nice tool, now it opens AI slop / adds tabs. Garbage
- Solympe
- Opens AI slop tabs
- Jeffrey Byrne
- Was useful for what I originally needed it for, then it's started opening tabs to AI slop ads all on its own
- Marton Varga
- Been using it for a while without issues, now suddenly it's opening random AI slop advertisements without even telling you. Not sure if it's been sold to the highest bidder or hacked but in either case can't be trusted.
- Art Skvira
- Opens random websites as an advertising stream revenue.
- Michal Niedziolka
- Opens ads randomly in a new tab
- Ken Sim
- Worked perfectly for a while, but then it started to opening new tabs redirecting to other websites. Very unethical practice, and is now being marked as malware or spyware. The developer would have been respected more if they requested to be supported on their GitHub repo.
- Viacheslav Kravchenko
- Silently added ads as new tab at random moment - shot in the leg. Shamefull self-unalivement
- cyan QA
- Simple and reliable! Recommend to use this extension
- David Vasilevski
- Opening up other sites that are advertisements
- ONO OOGAMI
- It's now a absolute spy & advertisement extension
- Josh Olsen
- Chrome store needs to pull this extension, it should never be okay for an extension to start opening web pages that it wasn't given permission to open.
- Lochlan Bunn
- Started opening full page ads, with no warning or culpable explanation
- Dan Barr
- Opening a random website will never be acceptable. Gone.
- Cedomir Rackov
- Keeps opening Buzzy AI website at random intervals. No idea what else it does that is clearly problematic.
- Charles White
- Suddenly started opening a random website. Looks like they are building ads in. Goodbye ModHeader you have been useful for 8+ years but this is goodbye
- Gonzalo Burkhardt
- Adware, opening a tab in my browser with an ad will never be acceptable.
- Joe Romero
- Adware
- Suwar dhana
- got the ad too
- Michael Theos
- Adware, opening a tab in my browser with an ad will never be acceptable.
- xin xu
- This extension used to be useful, but recently it has started opening advertising websites on its own without my consent. This is extremely intrusive and unacceptable for a browser extension, especially one that has access to headers and browsing activity. It seriously damages user trust and makes the browsing experience frustrating. I can no longer recommend this extension unless this behavior is completely removed and clearly explained.
- Hunter
- Adware.
- Ben Gosney
- started to open add sites...
- Rohan Gupta
- Adware
- Matt Zuba
- Compromised - makes a call out to https://www.extensions-hub.com/partners/updated/?name=ModHeader which then redirects to buzzy.website and loads a new tab in Chrome.
- Роман Горбунов
- Opens windows with ADS
- Harry Roberts
- Functionally, the extension works just fine, but the fact it frequently spawns spammy new tabs while I’m working is a major turn off. Not cool.
- Deen Rookie
- fuxking trash, ad flooding
- Marko Bratkovič
- Adware!
- Ashley Cretney
- Loaded a scammy looking ad, I can't trust this any more
- Timur Seitosmanov
- pops up an ad page randomly!
- Александр Трисвяцкий
- Working extension but adware - opens ad page in new tab. Reported and deleted.
- Daniel Wagner
- ModHeader just popped up an ad page. This is in the v7.0.18 extension: if (r.reason === "update") { Be.tabs.create({ url: "https://www.extensions-hub.com/partners/updated/?name=ModHeader", active: true }) } This has obviously lost my trust and will be removed. Given the permissions the extension needs to work it could do much worse than open an ad page.
- Joe Reynolds
- Opens up AI spam in separate tabs.
- Aleksandras Asavkinas
- This extension opened a partner/affiliate page (maxai.me/partners/...) in my browser without any interaction from me. I did not consent to this behavior. Automatically opening tabs is intrusive and feels like adware behavior. Uninstalled immediately.
- Ezekiel Messenger
- This is a tale as old as my Apple II: A good developer made an excellent extension and then ended up selling it to people who after 6 months or so warped the extension to stuff cookies and mine crypto

- Andrei

- Роман Пухлій
- Opens ads, mostly creati.studio
- Alex Croteau
- Same as others, opens ads with referer "extensions-hub.com". Uninstalling. Google should definitely block this extension, clear malicious behaviour.
- Jeremy Möglich
- Opens tabs with ads, tries to hide it's association with them.
- Bart Klein Reesink
- Why are you opening ads without any reference to this extension? Had to search online where the ads were coming from. Uninstalling right away...
- Alexander Novopashin
- Opens tabs with ads.
- Karim Chahir
- Definitely not deserving my respect. It used to do ONLY its jobs until few months ago when somehow this moneygrabbers decided to randomly opening spam web pages of AI tools. Not correct and by far not even legal Try earning money in a respectful way Hope you gonna get removed from every browser
- Lionel BONZOUMET
- Launch ads in your browser...
- Nik Youdale
- Opens random tabs with ads. Very annoying.
