Features & Capabilities

FicLab is a user-friendly Chrome extension that lets you download fanfiction stories as beautifully formatted ebook files. Simply browse to your favorite story on supported fanfiction websites, click the FicLab 'save' button, and quickly obtain your ebook in a preferred format.

Supported formats include ePub, Kindle, PDF, markdown, plain text, MS Word (docx), and HTML. Additionally, you can download story cover images as PNG files separately. FicLab ensures a seamless experience for fans who want offline access or portable versions of their favorite stories.

While FicLab requires 'access all sites' permission, this is strictly to support adding the 'save' feature on fanfiction sites and fetch story content for conversion. It respects privacy and only interacts with supported fiction sites, with no other use of access permissions.

Been great so far. There is an error I'm getting for one site though. I see I new version is being worked on, so I can hardly complain. Thanks so much! TypeError: can't access property "textContent", lCat.querySelector(...) is null

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 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.

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.
