User reviews

The Firefox add-on 'Date Today for Firefox' is praised for its simplicity, reliability, and usefulness, especially for timestamping backups. Users appreciate that it performs as expected and is easy to use. However, some users desire a feature to display the full date including the year. Also, the add-on currently requires manual enabling of the date display on each page rather than maintaining it consistently, which some find inconvenient. Additionally, it is considered less useful on mobile browsers, and a few users note it may stop functioning over time.

Pros

Simple and effective functionality as described
Convenient for backups and time stamping
Easy to use and reliable
Works well as intended

Cons

Lack of option to display the year, which some users miss
Does not persist date display across all pages automatically (needs manual enabling per page)
Not useful or practical on smartphone browsers
Some users report that it stops working

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.

Date Today for Firefox requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
