User reviews

Users find OctoHR to be a very helpful and handy Chrome extension for recruiters and developers, providing useful contact information and skill highlights on Github profiles in a non-intrusive way. However, multiple users report functionality problems, such as the extension not working at all and interface overlap issues on smaller window widths. Additionally, it improperly appears during repository searches instead of only user searches, which affects usability. Overall, it is praised for its concept and usefulness but needs improvements in reliability and interface behavior.

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.

OctoHR requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

OctoHR has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
