Features & Capabilities

If you are like me, the first thing you do when you visit a GitHub page is to scroll down to the README. Truth is we rarely need to view the files, at least not directly, and most of the times they are just getting in our way.

This extension hides the files block that jumps at your face:

The Folders and files section is now collapsed by default
You can now show the files by clicking on Show Folders and files or by using the ctrl+shift+F keyboard shortcut
Clicking or using the shortcut again will hide the files again

Is GitHub Readme First 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 Readme First requires a few sensitive permissions. 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 Readme First is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
