User Reviews

finally one of these GIF stopping extensions that works! I'd love the ability to whitelist / bind it to a key, tho just the toolbar button existing is a relief. also, if anyone know what the tick boxes do.....nothing shows for me. edit: turns out this is apparently a reupload lol. look for manuel reimer's toggle animated gif for the source! the two boxes are "Automatically reload current page on toggle" & "Add "Freeze animation" option to the context menu of images" by the way

Is GIF Stopper 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.

GIF Stopper 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.

GIF Stopper is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
