** 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.

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
Adolf Proidl
Intuitive usage, full functionality, easy backup and restore.
Andrei
works well for me, didn't spot any unwanted adds associated with it.
Moisés Galván Niño
It is stable and easy to use.
Lad of the Lake
doesn't do its job but does a great job spamming my browser with AI tools that I didn't ask for
Alari Truuts
MALWARE!!!! Opened creati.studio on my chrome upon launch, which I did not want or request!
elpokes
includes ads
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.
