- Stability problems with very large stories (possible crashes or failures)
- Site-specific content detection issues on some sites
- Support responsiveness can feel inconsistent (some users get quick help, others report no replies)
Recent reviews
This extension is great! However, recently it stopped allowing you to download whole series' from Literotica, which is actually the reason why I had sought this extension out since Calibre abruptly stopped allowing that as well. I don't know if there's a legal or technical reason why it's not allowed anymore or if both programs are just glitching about the same thing? However, I'll continue to use it as it is far more convenient than copying and pasting links into Calibre. Regardless of my frustrations with this particular issue, I do thank the creator for making and maintaining this extension, it's really great

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

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