This extension is intended for users who are subscribed to the AP website. Users are only allowed to license AP-owned content, but the AP website doesn't filter for this content unless the user is logged in, which the user can sometimes forget. This extension checks to make sure that the user is in fact logged in and flashes a warning screen if they're not. It also flags clips that appear to not be AP-owned if the user tries to open a link to one.

Reduce required permissions. 1.3.0: Display the unknown source when a source can't be found 1.2.0: Check with a Google Spreadsheet for safe AP-owned sources 1.0: Initial release

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AP Warning requires very minimum permissions.
