User Reviews

Non-functional, no obvious changes to the rendered webpage let alone a "reader mode" rendition. Possible malware - it's sending information from the browser to extensionpay.com, idk what (encoded, haven't bothered to look closer). This looks like trouble - steer clear of it. What is going on, Mozilla? Have you completely stopped policing new extensions? You can't blithely warn users "Make sure you trust it before installing" without providing means or at least guidance on HOW THAT MIGHT BE DONE. Very irresponsible of you.

Is Genuine Reader Mode 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.

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

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.

Genuine Reader Mode may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
