Features & Capabilities

This extension is intended to make it easier for people to send corrections to Light Novel translators. The idea is, while viewing the web page in a browser you can mark up any errors directly on the web page as you see them.

Basic steps are:

Browse to a web page you want to read.
When you notice an error:

Select the text (Left click on the text and drag the mouse to highlight the text.)
Right click mouse, Select "Drive By Editor" in the menu, then option "Add/Delete/Replace" text.
If Add or Modify is selected, type the new text into the edit box that appears, then click apply.

Continue reading page.
When finished reading page, Right click anywhere on page, Select "Drive by Editor", then "Copy edits to clipboard"

This will save all the edits you've made to the clipboard, so you can then paste the into your email program, or even a "comment" edit box on the web page itself. Or, you can search the document for the text {(edit)} and copy just the changes if you want.

Is Drive By Editor 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.

Drive By Editor requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

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