User Reviews

Bonne extension, fait ce qu'elle dit, tout simplement... Par contre, où peut-on trouver les sources ?
by Ma*****, 2017-10-22

This extension is a master piece. It raises awareness, even for really-privacy-aware-people-like-me ! In a simplest (and easier to see) way than uBO-scope (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/ubo-scope/), GAFAlink participates to the understanding of how the internet may be kept by a few big companies you encounter literally each two clicks. By the way : thank you very much for this clever initiative and keep going on !

On pourrait presque dire que c'est de la réalité augmentée :) Je mets 5 étoiles pour soutenir mais je me permets de suggérer 2-3 petite choses ^^ 1. pouvoir on/off le module d'un simple clic 2. pouvoir changer la couleur par défaut 3. pouvoir ajouter une liste noire personnelle 4. (pas indispensable) mais pouvoir compter les occurrences détectées ^^

Is GAFALink 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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