Features & Capabilities

CCaptioner is a Firefox extension designed to enhance the video viewing experience by adding the ability to assign a text track or subtitles to HTML5 videos. Many video players do not offer this feature, but with CCaptioner, you can easily add a .srt or .vtt file as a text track. It can be injected into specific websites when clicked on its toolbar icon. Due to its activeTab and <all_urls> permissions, it can interact with loaded web pages and be used in embedded iframe elements. Additionally, it allows for time-shifting the text track, useful when synchronisation issues arise.

Is CCaptioner 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.

CCaptioner 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.
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.

CCaptioner may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
