Features & Capabilities

I subscribe to notifications of many orgs and repos with my GitHub account. The work portion of those I don't want to really see in evenings, weekends or during vacation, vice versa some of the OSS and personal projects I don't want to see by default during a work day.

The options of this extension contain 2 textareas that accept strings for GitHub organisations or repositories (one per line). When visiting github.com/notifications the extension compares the entries of the first list with the headlines of the notification tables, and hides them if a match is found. The entries from the second table then allow you to unhide some of these tables again (which e.g. lets you hide a complete org, then just show some specific repositories of it).

Is GitHub Hide Notifications 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.

GitHub Hide Notifications 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.

GitHub Hide Notifications is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
