User Reviews
Pros
- Generates automatic subtitles and exports SRT files (users can open/copy the generated text).
- Useful idea for accessibility and breaking language barriers (translation capability praised by multiple users).
- Works for some sites/videos for several users (toolbar icon and subtitle overlay appear on supported videos).
Cons
- Requires a Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services account and an API key — several users said this requirement was not clearly stated.
- Can incur significant pay‑per‑use costs (translation/subtitle APIs), making it unsuitable for many personal users; several reviews called it effectively paid.
- Reliability issues: multiple reports that it doesn’t work, hangs while generating subtitles, or fails on some videos.
- Security and documentation concerns: instructions don’t clearly explain API key restriction or safe handling, so users worry about sharing keys.

Is Auto-Subtitle 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.
Auto-Subtitle 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.
Auto-Subtitle is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
