User reviews

KittyKeys is praised for its cute cat-themed typing sounds, delighting cat lovers and working well on some sites like Gmail and YouTube. However, multiple users report it only works on specific keys or sites, with inconsistent functionality and occasional bugs. The extension lacks volume control, sometimes causing disturbance. Despite its charm, many users find the limited key and site support frustrating and wish for broader compatibility and features.
Pros
  • Cute and adorable concept, appreciated by cat lovers.
  • Works well with certain keys or in specific websites such as Gmail and YouTube.
  • Adds fun and novelty by making cat meow sounds when typing.
  • Supports certain key combos to trigger additional effects (e.g., long meow with '!').
Cons
  • Only works reliably on limited websites, mainly Gmail and YouTube.
  • Works only for specific keys (M, E, O, W) or sometimes only on numbers, not the full keyboard.
  • Sound volume can be inconsistent and sometimes disturb others; no volume control available.
  • Often does not work or is buggy on many websites, causing user disappointment.
  • Lack of functionality beyond basic meow sounds; users desire more features and key support.

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.

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