Is GitHub Web IDE 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 Web IDE requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.

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.
