MIT Licence is declared, but not on the extension page on mozilla.org, but in its description after installation there is no link to its repository. There is no import functionality, which makes the extension useless for me even with satisfactory functionality in other respects. I will not re-enter about a thousand feeds. There is no cloud syncing of feeds via browser, nor via Google Drive/Dropbox connection. Mozilla Firefox 140.0b1 (64-bit), Feed Shaper (7 May 2025), Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.5854.

A very good application. I really like it. It is like Simplyfied view in Google Chrome. You get the content of an article without ad.

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.

Feed Shaper requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Feed Shaper is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
