I might just be paranoid but is wefwef.app safe? Any of you guys use it?
I’m primarly curious how much of wefwef is proxied versus directly pulled from instance.
It‘s a progressive web app, which is a little different than a website; it’s built in HTML/JS like a website, but has no server. You can install it on your device and it talks directly to your Lemmy instance. In effect it’s no different from any other Lemmy app except for being built in web programming languages instead of Swift/Kotlin (app programming languages).
This is actually not true. Because of CORS issues (which block you from querying a domain’s resources while on another domain name on a browser), it proxies all of the requests using a backend server.
It is partially proxying due to cors
Although I suppose the source code does give a bit of assurance 😊
You can do more by making sure you aren’t reusing credentials.
Make it so at worse you lose an account and nothing more in a worst case scenario. I personally trust them
