Wildfire is a powerful Chrome extension designed to simplify browser automation. It allows users to record their interactions within web pages and instantly replay these actions through a built-in simulator. Each recording generates comprehensive logs, enabling users to review and optimize their workflows.

With an intuitive Workflow Editor, Wildfire empowers users to customize and manipulate the simulated behavior to suit their specific needs. Ideal for automation enthusiasts, software testers, or users familiar with tools like iMacros and Selenium, Wildfire streamlines repetitive browser tasks and testing processes efficiently.

User reviews

Users appreciate Wildfire's simplicity, ease of use, and free basic macro automation capabilities. However, many are frustrated that it fails to work across different pages or tabs, frequently hangs or doesn't start properly, and is no longer maintained or compatible with the latest Chrome versions. Performance is reported as slow, with missing features like looping and keyboard shortcut support, and little to no guidance or support resources. Overall, while promising for basic automation, the extension has significant limitations and usability issues that affect its reliability.

Pros

Simple and easy to use compared to other macro plugins.
Useful for basic macro automation tasks.
Good user interface and design.
Free to use with functionality out-of-the-box.
Works well for repetitive click automation on specific web pages.

Cons

Does not support automation across different pages or tabs effectively, causes workflow problems.
Extension is no longer updated or supported, leading to incompatibility with recent Chrome versions.
Slow execution speed of recorded macros.
Lacks proper documentation, tutorials, and support forums.
Issues with stability: sometimes freezes, doesn't copy text correctly, or doesn't save recordings properly.

Recent reviews

The simulation doesn't start. At all. No information anywhere.

Hello, I saw that your extension has been deactivated, because it is no longer compatible with Chrome. Will you update it or not at all please?

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.

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

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

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