Features & Capabilities

gata helps you find the information you need, quicker than ever.

gata allows you to define dynamic shortcuts allowing you to jump to the page you need, when you need it. Just supply gata with a URL, define some variables, and you're done!

Examples include:

  • Going to a Twitter profile
  • Jumping to a specific repository on Github
  • Viewing your favourite Reddit, sorted how you choose

HOW DOES IT WORK?

To create a shortcut to go to a Twitter profile, we'll provide the URL "https://twitter.com/%s"

The "%s" signifies a variable. This is the part that you are going to fill in when you access the shortcut.

When you go to use this shortcut, gata will prompt you to enter the username you want to access and take you there.

FEATURES

  • Keyboard navigation - access all your shortcuts without using your mouse
  • Syncing - your shortcuts are synced across Firefox browsers that are signed in with the same account

Is gata 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.

gata does not require any sensitive permissions.

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.

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