User Reviews

Salve Francesco, cercavo appunto un'extension semplice ma efficace e ne ho provate alcune molto note come Zoho che mi hanno deluso. Poi ho trovato la tua e penso che la media un po' debole delle valutazioni non rendano giustizia a questa tua ottima extension. Io continuero' ad usarla per verificarne tutto il potenziale e se continua a convincermi trovo giusto di inviare un contributo a titolo di ringraziamento.

Is Annotating the Web 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.

Annotating the Web requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
