User reviews
Great extension, very useful. I doubt the developer will read this, since it says this extension was last updated on 16 September 2014, but you never know...
What surprises me is that you can only allow a maximum of 4 icons to show when hovering over a link, while there's a total of 44 different ones of them that could indicate what kind of page a link will take you to. Am I doing something wrong, CAN it actually show more than 4? In that case, I hope someone can tell me. I'd like for it to show at least 10 icons as indicators, even though I know it's very unlikely for a single link to make all 10 of them appear. But if you've picked only 4 of them and the link you're checking will take you to another kind of page (which has an indicating icon, but you didn't check it because you already picked 4 others), then it won't tell you...
The reason mentioned above is why I'm giving 4 starts out of 5. Without this little issue I'd give it 5 stars.

Thrilled you forked this for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. It's working in Vivaldi browser too.
Some bugs whether in Chrome or Vivaldi. On certain pages, haven't figured out the pattern yet, the icons end up being giant-sized, and vertically-oriented. Which also flips the X Y offset settings. They end up being treated as images that are on top of the link, preventing the link from being either clicked or right-click copied. Articles on Rollingstone.com and some on CNN often display this problem.
But great effort for a first fork to Chromium, and your adding the toolbar button for enable/disable makes it easy to turn off on sites with the problem, in order to get links to work.

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 Alert requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.
Link Alert has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
Risk likelihood analysis details
- High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
