Features & Capabilities

This addon connects to a websocket and requests the blacklist, whitelist, and security level every 15 seconds. Websites specified in the blacklist are always blocked. The addon also saves the blacklist after the browser is closed, so if it fails to connect to the websocket the last known blacklist is enforced.

Depending on the security level, websites specified on the whitelist are logged and/or blocked.

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.
