'Choose' app permissions on Facebook using OOptOut – Firstpost

Facebook’s full of new and interesting apps, and I for one cannot resist trying them. Now, a new Chrome Extension called OOptOut developed by Python programmer, Chad Selph allows users to pick and choose what permissions they want to give and what they want to withhold, while trying a certain app. However, doing this means following the steps below: Do a git clone of this repository Open up Chrome to chrome://extensions Turn on “Developer Mode” Click “Load unpacked extension” Find the folder of your git checkout! After having chosen the required inputs With the OOptOut extension in tow, each time a user proceeds to trying an app on Facebook and hits upon a ‘Permission Page’, OOptOut will add a small bar, which is a plain white strip running across the portion above the permission box with checkboxes for every permission the app requires. The developer is still working on polishing some facets of the extension, like finding a better name, instead of the existing one, a description, maybe of what each permission does, also the ability to add permissions the site isn’t asking for really, among others.
