User Reviews

Users find Context Wiktionary useful and time-saving for quick word lookups. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with how the extension manages tabs: it opens searches in the same tab or to the left of the current tab, creating navigational inconvenience. Users suggest improvements like reusing a single Wiktionary tab or displaying results in a popup window to reduce tab clutter and enhance browsing experience.

Pros

The extension works well and performs its intended function effectively.
It saves time for users looking up words on Wiktionary.
The add-on is handy and easy to use.
Users appreciate the simplicity and usefulness of the extension.

Cons

The extension opens Wiktionary pages in the same tab, which can be inconvenient as it replaces the current page without an easy way to go back.
New tabs opened by the extension appear to the left of the current tab, which is counterintuitive compared to Firefox's default behavior of opening new tabs to the right.
There's no option to reuse an existing Wiktionary tab, leading to multiple tabs open for different searches.
Users would prefer the results to appear in a popup or bubble window rather than opening new tabs to reduce tab clutter and distraction.

It works, but not the best option for a search if you have many extensions in your context menu. Using the "Add custom search engine" extension makes searches faster for keyboard users to type something like "@wikt example" in the search bar.

Is Context Wiktionary 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.

Context Wiktionary does not require any sensitive permissions.

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.

Context Wiktionary has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
