I haven't had any issues accessing or using gifs on gmail compose or hangouts, but for the past several months the options I'm getting are extremely limited, worse and worse quality, and many are customized with people's names so they're useless. I also know there are billions of gifs out there, but I only get to see ~15-20 per search term. E.g., "birthday" in the search box returned 19 options, 13 of them were customized with a name. They change daily, but the quality of the search results keeps getting worse.

Extension safety

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.

GIPHY for Gmail requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
