Summary
Ever had the fat finger when browsing Facebook, triggering friend requests or likes when you didn't mean to? Rather than finding the long winded solution to cancel a friend request, I propose to not sending it in the first place! Shame this will not be available for Chrome on Android as this would have been the perfect place for it!
This plugin will automatically add an extra step everytime you are sending a Facebook friend request or attempt a like, asking you to confirm the action. This is quite a basic extension so feel free to contact me to suggest any improvements.
Planned improvements are:
- Easy on/off button
- Option to select which buttons to add confirmation (i.e. 'Likes' or 'Add Friend' only or both)
- Additional websites (LinkedIn, Twitter)
Safety
Risk impact
FatFinger is relatively safe to use as it requires very minimum permissions.
Risk likelihood
FatFinger has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
