User reviews

Users appreciate the Houzz Save Button for its intended purpose of saving inspirational images directly to Houzz ideabooks, finding it potentially very useful. However, the extension is marred by significant issues such as hijacking the browser's new tab page without opt-out options, repeatedly prompting for login even when signed in, frequent failures in saving images, and occasional freezing of Chrome tabs. These problems have led many users to disable or uninstall the extension, overshadowing its convenience and usefulness.

Pros

Useful for capturing and saving images for inspiration when it works properly.
Helpful tool for adding images to Houzz ideabooks from various websites.
Provides an easy way to link photos directly into Houzz.
Has potential to integrate well with other planning tools like Pinterest and Evernote.

Cons

Hijacks the browser's new tab page and startup settings without clear user consent, which many find invasive and annoying.
Frequently fails to save images or add them to ideabooks despite clicking the save button.
Repeated and persistent login prompts even when users are already logged in, preventing functionality.
Extension often freezes the page or becomes unresponsive when used.
Inability to disable the new tab hijacking feature without disabling the entire extension.

This Houzz extension has one annoying bug that has now caused me to disable it... when I open a New Tab I get error of "This site can't be reached'. The URL is the internal chrome page: chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html. Houzz seems to hijack the chrome 'On startup' setting as it shows 'Houzz Save Button is controlling this setting'. If I disable that setting it remove all Houzz functionality. I just want the Houzz button on hover, I don't want to see Houzz at startup or on new tabs. But it seems it is not configurable to achieve that. Hopefully Houzz can fix the extension in future so it can be useful but non-invasive.

It does not save anything because when you click on the button it takes you to log in: "We just opened a new tab for you to log into Houzz. Once you’re signed in, please click on "Launch Houzz Save" below." then even after you're logged in it doesn't work. Launching houzz save does nothing but bring up the sign in screen again.

DOES NOT WORK. CONTINUALLY ASKS YOU TO LOG IN TO HOUZZ EVEN IF YOU ALREADY ARE.

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.

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