Features & Capabilities

ANSI Viewer is a specialized Chrome extension that allows users to seamlessly view .ans files directly in their browser. Featuring built-in support for Big5-UAO encoding, it ensures accurate rendering of text from sources like BBSFox. The extension supports rich ANSI colors, dual-color text, blinking effects, and PTT-style coloring themes, enhancing readability and user interaction. A handy keyboard shortcut (Alt + L) toggles text highlighting for quick emphasis. Ideal for users who want to view ANSI art or text files without leaving their browsing environment, ANSI Viewer brings a robust, user-friendly experience tailored to legacy text formats.

Is ANSI Viewer 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.

ANSI Viewer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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