Features & Capabilities

About this Add-on ShovelShare enables you to quickly share the page you're viewing with your favorite Digg community. Click the add-on icon, consent to share your current tab’s URL, and then select "Submit to Digg". This opens Digg’s submissions page with your URL pre-filled. You can then pick a community, add optional text, and submit.

Data Usage & Permissions

Tabs permission: Required only when you click the “Share to Digg” button to read your current tab’s URL. No background monitoring or data collection occurs.
Storage permission: Used to locally store your explicit consent so you don’t have to grant it every time.
Host permission (https://beta.digg.com/): Needed to open Digg’s submission page with your URL pre-populated.

Privacy - Your URL is shared only after you explicitly consent by checking the box and clicking the share button. - No browsing data or URLs are stored or transmitted elsewhere besides your browser and Digg. - No personal information or browsing history is collected or shared. - You can revoke consent or disable the add-on anytime.

Note If you're not logged into Digg and have visited Digg within the last 24 hours, the first submission attempt may fail due to Digg’s login session handling. If this happens, close the popup and try again.

Disclaimer I am not affiliated with Digg. This is an independent extension built to improve your sharing experience.

Is ShovelShare Safe?

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.

ShovelShare requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ShovelShare may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
