Features & Capabilities

News sucks these days. Our Buoy Up extension gives you a way to combat it: in the moment, while you're reading. With one click, you can donate to organizations trying to fix the bad stuff. We highlight their names in on web pages, in a pop-up we summarize what they do, and with one click, you can donate a set amount. The more you click, the more you give! The organizations in our database are non-profits that do the most with the money you send. You’ll never have to guess whether you’re money is being put to good use.

The news is singularly depressing these days. This add-on makes me feel like I'm doing my small part to make a difference. Works great.

Is Buoy Up 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.

Buoy Up 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.

Buoy Up is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
