I've been using Display #Anchors for several years, but I never really liked it that much (I only continued using it because anchor display is such an important feature for me). I found its anchors difficult to see, especially on longer complex web pages. However I recently found out about Anchors Reveal and I decided to try it.
The visibility of the anchors in Anchors Reveal is SO much better than Display #Anchors, and you even have a choice of colours! although it would be nice to have one configurable extra option that lets the user specify a background colour and what text should be used for the anchors (for example if the user wants to replace full anchor names with some different text, or use a symbol instead).
I have now permanently switched to using Anchors Reveal.
There are a couple of issues though:
1. I cannot find any hotkey to toggle Anchors Reveal on and off. The Display #Anchors extension has a hotkey, but annoyingly it is hard-coded, so you cannot change it to a hotkey of your own choosing (and the default hotkey that it uses clashes with a feature in my browser).
It would be extremely helpful if Anchors Reveal added an option for a hotkey (user-specified) to allow toggling anchors on and off from the keyboard.
2. The Anchors Reveal toolbar button does not visually indicate whether anchors are currently off or on. It would be better if the toolbar button had 2 different states / icons to reflect the current anchor display status.
This is useful when you are on a web page with no anchors, otherwise you can get confused thinking that Anchors Reveal is not switched on or is not working (when in fact it IS on, it's just that the web page has no anchors to display). This confusion is removed if you can see from the toolbar button that anchors are on, even if there are no anchors shown on the current web page.
This extension has not been updated for a while (because it mostly already does what it needs to) but I do hope that the developer will consider adding the features that I suggested above (especially the user-configurable hotkey).

Is Anchors reveal Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Anchors reveal does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Anchors reveal is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
