Looking for some opinions on this... any thoughts? There are 2 solutions to this:
1) I modify the ext to be exclusively a "Libre.fm" scrobbler and remove the ability to configure servers. Having tested it now, it appears this is an issue. Even though its presently configurable it will not reach other servers without predefined permissions. 2) Open it up to be able to access "all domains" essentially asking to people accept the security risk. The only real risk is that they may not trust the extension, which is fair enough. I could adopt a "try at your own risk" policy. Just seems nasty somehow. Option #1 isn't a big deal since I am releasing this source free anyway. So if someone wanted to download and configure it for their own server they could do it in minutes and re-release it as a seperate extension. "Scrobbler for Server X". Any thoughts?
