Is it safe to use Firefox' adsense plugin?

    Is it safe to use Firefox' adsense plugin? Maybe it doesn't violate adsense tos, but doesn't it make the account details vulnerable? Do you use any plugin to monitor adsense income? How far are they secured? Thanks in advance.

    for sure you can use this plugin. i myself think its a real cool plugin as it displays the FF referral ads to users who don't use FF

    Of course you can, but I try not to do so. I think that is the best way oto keep my account and its password safe.

    I just looked at the code. It's no less secure than using your Firefox browser to check it yourself. It's logging in through the same HTTPS address as you'ld use to login to your Google account normally & doing so with an XMLHTTPRequest object, which is something Google uses quite often anyways.

    Although it sounds quite safe i prefer not to, just a personal choice.
