User reviews

Users appreciate the Link Research SEO Toolbar for helping them learn SEO, saving time and money, and providing useful analysis tools. However, multiple reviews mention that recent Google updates have broken the SERP overlay and sorting features. Additionally, the toolbar interface is not very intuitive and lacks helpful tooltips.

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.

Link Research SEO Toolbar requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
