CapAlert Firefox

CapAlert

CapAlert gives an audible warning when your Caps Lock is mistakenly left on.

Features & Capabilities

About this extension: I recently had an idea for an extension. I am constantly typing with my caps on and don't become aware of it until I have finished typing. Very frustrating. My thought was: what if I created an extension that gave an audible warning when more than three caps are typed in a row, alerting you to look up at the screen? My new extension integrates wonderfully with both Firefox and Chrome browsers. My goal was to assist the visually impaired and the elderly who want to stay involved and current with social media, news and work. But even the best typist can forget their caps are on. Get CapAlert before having to type that whole paragraph again!

In order to get the most from this extension on Firefox, be sure to select “allow this extension to run in private windows” when downloading. And refreshing the browser page is necessary after downloading new extensions.

Developing new browser extensions can get costly and it is difficult to monetize your extension once it is completed. Our goal was to assist the visually impaired and the elderly who want to stay involved and current with social media, news and work. We ask that if you enjoyed our extension and want us to expand on this idea in helping people throughout the world, please leave a donation by clicking on the "Contribute now" button located on the left. Donation transactions will be listed on your records as NFA.

Thank you, Zodiak Paredes

User Reviews

This extension is handy for anybody who, like me, sometimes forgets to turn Caps Lock off. It's also simple to install. I imagine it would be even more handy for anybody with vision problems who can't see that they are writing too many words in all caps after neglecting to turn Cap Locks off.

Is CapAlert 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

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