CMD-Q Catcher is a handy Chrome extension designed especially for Mac users who face the frustrating issue of accidentally closing Firefox when pressing CMD-Q. This is particularly helpful when PC users try to type the '@' symbol but mistakenly hit CMD-Q, causing an unwanted browser shutdown. With CMD-Q Catcher installed, the browser won't close on the first CMD-Q press — requiring a double press to actually quit Firefox. This simple yet effective feature helps prevent accidental closures, enhancing productivity and user experience without compromising convenience.

Whether you're switching between PC and Mac keyboards or just want to avoid losing your browsing session, CMD-Q Catcher offers peace of mind and smooth workflow continuity. Say goodbye to accidental shutdowns and keep your browser open until you truly mean to quit.

Extension safety

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.

CMD-Q Catcher requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

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