Whether you're downloading large files or just browsing, this tool ensures you don't miss any connectivity interruptions.

The extension uses two low-latency connections to reliably check your internet health without consuming much bandwidth.

User reviews

Users generally find the Internet Connection Alerter useful for detecting internet outages and monitoring network reliability. The extension successfully notifies users about connection drops, which is appreciated. However, multiple users report issues with the alert sound being repetitive and lacking customization options. Some experience functionality problems requiring them to re-add the extension for it to work, and the email alert/reporting features appear unreliable. Improving alert customization and stability could enhance user satisfaction.

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.

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