Extension can easily flood the user with popups about nos2x-fox HOT 6 OPEN

so unless plebeian took interest in all my DMs

Indeed, that was the case :)

We'll show you all your Nostr private messages inside the "Private Messages" page in Plebeian Market. We cannot know if it's a personal message, or a message related to a product, so we'll show you all the messages.

Do you know what was the reason for the infinite loop?
I can imagine a site asking many permissions, but that would amount to a finite number of popups queued up. Why is that this particular site generated that infinite loop?

I'm not its developer but you wouldn't want more than a few popups per minute ever, so it would make sense to put mitigations in place for buggy sites as for malicious sites anyway.

Yeah that makes sense.
I was just wondering the underlying reason to see if there was a specific scenario we would want to account for and handle differently.

Hi.

The problem is that we're trying to decode all the Private Messages secuentially, and I think that makes the extension create one window to request permission for each of those messages. Nos2x also had this behaviour in the past, but they did improve the situacion and now only one window appears.

A few months ago I talked with a guy from Alby and they told me that they were trying to implement a queue or something like that, so you can request permission for the first message taken from the queue, and then you already have the permission set when taking the next messages...

I see it clearly as a bug on the extension side but I am sure I did not get more than a dozen messages from plebeian market but it was probably thousands of popups that opened, so unless plebeian took interest in all my DMs, it was not the decryption per event.
