User Reviews

this is pretty good and makes the ui really really nice, idk if its just me but some parts of the ui are just bugged on some pages and dont adapt to the theme, say i go from my liked music playlist to the homepage, the left side-bar isn't themed and the bar at the bottom isn't at all either. the theme also just doesnt work at all for privately uploaded albums, the theme just doesnt appear at all or stays the same as the last song you listened to, the bugs with the theme are also the same when you go to the pages too and the theme even appears broken for everything above the album cover without the bugs tho this would easily be 5 stars, i'd really like help if im doing something wrong, it might just be a firefox thing but i wouldn't know

Is Better Lyrics Shaders 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.

Better Lyrics Shaders 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.

Better Lyrics Shaders is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
