Features & Capabilities

Constructions such as "gender stars" recently emerging in German language can make texts quite hard to read. Accordingly, this add-on replaces these constructions on websites with an easier readable substitution, which can be chosen by the user.

Examples: Expert*In -> Expertwesen EntwicklerInnen -> Entwicklerwesen Lehrer(in) -> Lehrerwesen

It is possible to freely choose substitution texts for both detected singular and plural forms separately. However, the grammatical context is not taken into account, since this in general requires knowledge about the semantics, which are hard to detect programmatically.

Is Gender-Star-Remover 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.

Gender-Star-Remover requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.

Gender-Star-Remover may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
