Features & Capabilities

Extend Text Selection is a Firefox addon that enhances your browsing experience by adding a context menu and keyboard shortcut to extend current text selection. It might be really handy in specific use cases when really long text is embeded in small scrollable container on the page.

On each iteration it goes one level up in the elements tree, for example: word -> paragraph -> block of text -> whole article -> whole page. What exactly is going to be selected on the next step depends on how the page is structured. You might need to trigger it several times to achieve the desired level of selection.

This addon is super tiny and doesn't affect performance at all, but it will be there when you need it.

How to use it

From the right click context menu of the text selection
Using the keyboard shortcut (default: Ctrl+Alt+A)

Is Extend Text Selection 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.

Extend Text Selection does not require any sensitive permissions.

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.

Extend Text Selection is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
