Features & Capabilities

Byelinear is a Chrome extension designed for pixel art lovers and those nostalgic for the crisp visuals of standard definition media. It instructs the browser's HTML-renderer to apply high-contrast image and video scaling that mimics nearest-neighbor interpolation, producing sharper and more pixelated visuals instead of the typical blurry bilinear scaling. Users can enjoy a clear, retro aesthetic while also benefiting from marginal performance improvements. Ideal for enhancing pixel art content and revitalizing low-resolution media viewing experiences.

It works exactly how it says! It even gives an option to only apply to videos, or only apply to images. As someone who occasionally works with low resolution images, it's a godsend!

Is Byelinear 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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