Hi*****, 2025-05-02

Missed my quizze due to this terrible firewall. I only have one extension installed in Chrome, yet it keeps saying I have a Google Docs extension, VPN and others and asks me to remove it. Extremely frustrating and pointless!

Extension safety

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.

VU Quiz Firewall requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

VU Quiz Firewall may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
