User reviews

Pros

Effectively helps improve reading speed and comprehension, especially for people with ADHD, ADD, and dyslexia.
Makes reading large blocks of text easier by using color gradients to guide the eyes.
Allows customization of color schemes for user preference.
Longtime users find it reliable and beneficial for specific needs such as studying and reading technical documentation.

Cons

The extension has a paywall and subscription model that limits free usage to 5 pages per day, frustrating users who need more extensive access.
Lack of updates since 2021 causes concern among users regarding support and maintenance.
Sometimes causes distracting pop-ups and notifications, including irrelevant messages about platform support and subscription.
Issues with compatibility or functionality on certain sites, e.g., not working properly on some school websites due to loading order.
Concerns about transparency regarding privacy and data usage.

Recent reviews

This extension has started randomly capitalizing letters as it colors them, how this made it past testing is beyond me. I'm a paying customer and I'm seriously reconsidering cancelling my subscription depending on how long this takes to be fixed. Also why has this extension not been updated since 2021?

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.

BeeLine Reader 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 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.
