User Reviews

Cr!Box is a highly valued Firefox add-on for Fritz!Box users, praised for its quick IP switching and reliable functionality, serving as a strong substitute for the discontinued FoxBox. Common drawbacks include the need to double click to activate it, absence of persistent IP display in the toolbar, and limited permanent running in Firefox. Some users report occasional issues with saving settings related to browser storage configurations. Overall, it is appreciated for fulfilling key features and continuous improvement despite minor usability quirks.
Pros
  • Essential for Fritz!Box users as a replacement for the discontinued FoxBox add-on.
  • Allows IP address switching without interrupting streams.
  • Functions reliably and is considered superior to standalone tools.
  • Quickly assigns new IP addresses.
  • Users appreciate ongoing development and stability.
Cons
  • Requires double clicking to activate and view data, which some users find inconvenient.
  • Lacks persistent display of current IP address in the toolbar, unlike FoxBox.
  • Not always running permanently; limited presence in Firefox compared to previous add-on.
  • Settings might not save properly if browser local storage is disabled.

Dieses ADD-ON ist für Fritz!Box Nutzer unverzichtbar! Danke für die Weiterentwicklung, nachdem das damalige ähnliche ADD-ON (FoxBox) eingestellt wurde.

Is Cr!Box 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.

Cr!Box 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.

Cr!Box has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
