These little desktop buddies can walk, crawl, jump, and interact with elements on any webpage, adding a fun and engaging twist to your internet usage. You can pick them up with your mouse pointer, drag them around, and drop them anywhere on the page. Each shimeji character features unique behaviors, including rare animations and the ability to throw page elements with realistic inertia.

Extension safety

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.

Shimeji Browser Extension requires very minimum permissions.
