Features & Capabilities

This extension requires a separate program to work properly. Follow the installation instructions here.

This add-on extends dynamic base16 theming capabilities to your browser. The only way firefox can communicate with your computer is through the native messaging API, which allows extensions to run whitelisted programs and communicate with them.

The firefox-native-base16 program can watch a TOML configuration file for changes on your computer, and immediately communicate the color changes to firefox via the extension.

Works best paired with Flavours for dynamic base16 theme changes.

Is Dynamic Base16 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.

Dynamic Base16 requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Facilitates communication between extensions and native applications, usually low risk if managed correctly.

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.

Dynamic Base16 is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
