Extension summary

Want to see what's behind that link, but scared it's something horrible? Risky's here to help.

=== Features ===

  • Accessible from right-clicking any link
  • Auto blur option
  • Works on full pages, not just image links.
  • Blurred pages are still usable!

=== How to use ===

  • Right click on the suspicious link and select 'Risky click'.
  • Use the slider to gradually un-blur the page.
  • Alternatively, check the 'auto' box to have Risky gradually un-blur the image automatically (10% per second).

Please note that Risky probably won't work on links that are accessible only with login, e.g. Facebook posts.

Most brilliant chrome extension ever existed on this universe.

This is by far the greatest extension ever made for Google Chrome. I have uninstalled AdBlock and replaced all my ads with their risky clicked equivalent.
