This extension uses outdated authentication. If you use it, GitHub will spam your email every 3 days as long as the application queries their backend: Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the `access_token` query parameter is deprecated and will be removed July 1st, 2020. The extension's webpage seems dead as well. I guess it is no longer maintained.

Is GitHub Notifier 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.

GitHub Notifier 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.

GitHub Notifier has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
