Add Warning for Plug-in page

Technical Support for Routers

Hi there,

I would say that we urgently need a warning on the plug-in page, so people will understand that updating the plugins might lead to a broken device.

I understand why the plug-in page is there - but it's not marked as some “advanced” feature right now, and people just think that it's perfectly fine to use them. In most cases, it might be OK, but sometimes - especially if someone is updating all plugins including lua-eco - it will simply break everything; unrecoverable without going through a full reset.

Therefore, I would kindly ask GL to improve the plug-in page and add at least a big warning. Maybe even hide the whole plug-in-management page behind a "Are you sure you want to continue?" page.

Something like Firefox did:

Or a warning like in Chrome:

Hope to see some improvement here.

well its not certainly about experimental features, that will still be enough for one to try it.

i like the message from luci :wink:

Install additional software and upgrade existing packages with opkg.
Warning! Package operations can break your system.

can break your system has a url to this.

prompting to re-enter the login password so people have to read the warning would help as well

I thought only things via LUCI were risky.
Are you saying that using the GL UI to update the plugins is also risky?

Yep, it's exactly the same.
