The icon really doesn't do anything for that matter, but I think Google makes you have one in the top bar or something. In Firefox there isn't even an icon to show.
I'd just right click on it and hide from the menu. If it actually showed a list of what it's "Decentraleyes'd" on the current open tab it might be interesting. Otherwise, it's kinda a useless gui.
Thanks a lot for providing and maintaining this great extension! A small suggestion - would it be possible to implement an option to hide the counter in the icon?
Hi @JGH1000. Many thanks for your suggestion, and great to hear you appreciate Decentraleyes! I'm happy to say that this feature is planned for a future version of the extension. Expect it to land soon after this extension is ported to WebExtensions (#173 (closed)). I hope this addresses your concerns.

Hello @jawz101, and thanks for trying to help out. The Chromium version does feature a fully working GUI, and its counter does show the amount of local injections for active pages. Said rewrite is currently being ported over to Firefox. The Chromium version serves as the WebExtensions foundation.
I tested this with the WebExtensions beta. It looks great but I think it is somehow counting injections twice in Counter for locally injected resources. The counter on a given page is correct though.
@Bisaloo I'm pretty sure the counter correctly registers resource injections. The testing utility first attempts to fetch jQuery from Google Hosted Libraries, and then uses the library to see if it's able to get a valid response from said service. Two injections occur, but only one single resource is injected.
Regular websites don't behave this way, so you should not be seeing any double injections for the same resources when browsing the rest of the web. Does it count injections twice on regular websites?
