Features & Capabilities

CoverWeb essentially improves your life and your work in web.

It looks like a small toolbar at the side of your browser. You're able to activate any of a dozen of powerfull features with a simple mouse gesture.

Main features are:

  • Discussion Just imagine that you can comment ANY page on ANY website. Even if there is no comment form on the site. Even if site owners are disagree. No limits and restrictions, just say what you want wherever you want.
  • Sharing It's not only about simple sharing a page in social networks. It's much more powerfull. Now you can send any interesting page directly to your friends browsers. And attach a note if you want. Just try it, it's much more effective than send a link via messenger.
  • Reopen pages Afraid of losing update of an important page? Interested in page but have no time to read it right now? No problem. After couple of clicks CoverWeb will close it and open it later, just when you want it.

  • News With CoverWeb you're always up to date. What's happening in the world? Which themes are mostly discussed in social networks right now? Just open the News tab and you'll find top news on any category you want.

Is CoverWeb 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.

CoverWeb requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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