What does this do for me that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications</a> does not? Other than ironically nag me to share on social media and sign up for their newsletter for every app I drop?

That's a great tool. I hadn't realized that every time when I was "sharing with Facebook", or "commenting with Facebook" I was actually installing all kinds of Facebook apps that would have long term ability to post as me.<p>Facebook needs to have some more tinfoil had granularity for some of that stuff. I'd be fine with allowing some of those apps some of their crazy permissions if I had to authorize it every time.<p>And wow, do app designers ever need to start doing a better job of naming their apps. The Pizza Pizza Canada app was uatpizza or something dumb like that.

There was something like this a few years ago. Facebook changed something (and/or FB changes made maintaining the plugin impossible) and it stopped working. Like any business idea dependent on the goodwill of an API to third-parties, a conflict with business priorities will always resolve in the API owner's favor.

I think most people would be more likely to click this if it didn't say "Seriously, just do it."

Wow! This is really neat and useful. <i>Thanks for making this (if you created it, OP)!</i><p>There was quite a few apps that I had forgotten I had given access too, that I revoked permissions. I also really love how it is a Chrome extension instead of yet another app I would have to give full access to, just to delete access for other apps (that would seem just plain silly haha). It makes me feel much safer using it. Great job! :)<p><i>Direct link for those that do not want to read the article: <a href="http://mypermissions.org/*" rel="nofollow">http://mypermissions.org/*</a><p></i>Link to get chrome extension: <a href="https://mypermissions.com/?utm_source=org_promotions_cleaner_text_link_default_no_test*" rel="nofollow">https://mypermissions.com/?utm_source=org_promotions_cleaner...</a>

I really like the report that's generated, but it took me about 4 attempted scans before one finished. I'll be patient because I'm interested in this, but I don't think most people on the internet will be as patient.<p>Anyway, great start and looking forward to seeing it improve!

Great wep app, it scanned and removed the applications without requiring sign up, providing email address, etc.<p>That is the key step so many things online mess up - let me try it out w/o having to create another user account!

I go to the page and it shows "Sign in to Facebook to scan your permissions", I am however signed in, clicking the link takes me to my Facebook feed. Does anyone else have this problem? Chrome on W7.

Shouldn't the platform owner (e.g. Facebook) make sure that no intrusive apps can connect in the first place?

I like the analogy. There is anti-virus for security, but there should be an equivalent for privacy.

How does an app get on the "MyPermissions' Safe Permissions Program" list? Where is this list?
