User Reviews

Users appreciate the Are.na Firefox add-on for its ease of saving, bookmarking, and crediting web content, including images, with customizable titles and descriptions. The bookmarklet feature enhances usability. However, multiple reviews mention login problems, limited free usage with caps on private items, and occasional slowness or failure to open. The absence of a strong tagging system also limits its organizational functionality.

Pros

Seamless way to save and bookmark content to Are.na channels, including drag and drop support.
Automatically sources and credits the origin of saved content.
Allows customization of titles and descriptions for saved image blocks.
Supports a bookmarklet feature for easy content saving across platforms.

Cons

Login issues reported, such as failure to accept valid credentials.
Limited free usage with a low cap on private bookmarked items, requiring payment for more.
Performance issues including slowness and occasional failure to open on certain sites.
Lack of a robust tagging tool for organizing saved content.

Recent reviews

Requires permissions to access data to all websites but we can't inspect the code. Pinterest's similar extension was removed by Mozilla for its privacy violations. Arena's extension needs more transparency.

Is Are.na 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.

Are.na 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 ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

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.

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