| 138 | +## Reviewer Notes |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### Expected Reviewer Questions |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +1. **Why does the extension use `eval()`?** |
| 143 | + - **Answer:** Uses `browser.devtools.inspectedWindow.eval()` via the Firefox DevTools API for: |
| 144 | + - Performance metric collection in the **inspected page** (not extension context) |
| 145 | + - Flag impact analysis |
| 146 | + - This is standard practice for DevTools extensions and is sandboxed by Firefox. |
| 147 | + - Documented in `SECURITY.md`. |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +2. **Does the extension collect any user data?** |
| 150 | + - **Answer:** No. All data is stored locally using `browser.storage.local`. |
| 151 | + - No analytics, tracking, telemetry, or crash reporting. |
| 152 | + - See `PRIVACY.md` for details. |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +3. **Why are some permissions optional?** |
| 155 | + - **Answer:** Permissions are requested only when the user enables specific features. |
| 156 | + - Example: `browserSettings` is requested when user toggles a flag that modifies browser settings. |
| 157 | + - User can revoke any permission at any time. |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +4. **What network activity does the extension perform?** |
| 160 | + - **Answer:** |
| 161 | + - Weekly database updates from GitHub (optional, can be disabled) |
| 162 | + - Extension updates from Mozilla Add-ons |
| 163 | + - No other network activity. |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +--- |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +### Common Issues |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +1. **Privacy Policy URL Not Accessible** |
| 172 | + - **Cause:** GitHub Pages not enabled |
| 173 | + - **Fix:** Enable GitHub Pages in repo settings (see checklist above) |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +2. **Submission Rejected for `eval()` Usage** |
| 176 | + - **Cause:** Reviewer unfamiliar with DevTools API |
| 177 | + - **Fix:** Point to `SECURITY.md` explanation and Firefox DevTools documentation |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +3. **Missing Required Fields** |
