Multiple users report that Angular DevTools causes freezing problems with Microsoft SSO and AD login screens. The selector tool is buggy, leaving highlights on components that don't disappear until refreshing the page. The add-on can slow down site performance and stops functioning after page refreshes, requiring users to restart DevTools. Some compatibility issues are noted with rendering XML content. Overall, users find it unstable and problematic during development tasks involving Microsoft-related logins and component inspection.

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.

Angular DevTools requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Medium ****** ** ********* ****** ********* *** **** ****** **** **** ** ******* ** ********** **** ***********

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Angular DevTools is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
