Features & Capabilities

Firefox-only fork of the original GitHub Unveiler extension (v1.9). Use the upstream project for Chrome or other Chromium browsers. All core credit for the concept and initial implementation goes to the original author (@RedRecondite).

Optional permissions: To allow saving the host and persisting on page refresh.

Note: Hitting 'Deny' on the permissions dialog after clicking the extension will still apply the renaming, but only until page refresh, as denying permissions will not allow the extension to persist. This was done this way, so that no permissions are required to still use the extension.

Is GitHub Unveiler (FF) 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 Unveiler (FF) 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.

GitHub Unveiler (FF) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
