User Reviews

Users appreciate this Firefox add-on for providing easy and lightweight access to various Google apps with stable performance and some customization. However, multiple reviews mention its lack of updates leading to outdated app links, limited customization in changing default apps, absence of popular Google services, no dark mode feature, and occasional functionality issues like slow loading and broken features.

Pros

Provides convenient access to a variety of Google apps within Firefox.
Lightweight and simple to use without requiring extensive permissions.
Generally stable and reliable with no reported bugs or crashes.
Allows some level of customization such as rearranging app icons.
Supports seamless integration of multiple Google services for Firefox users.

Cons

Lacks updates and some apps are outdated, e.g., Hangouts not replaced with Chat.
Limited customization options, such as inability to change default apps permanently.
Missing apps that users commonly request to be added, like Google Sites, Forms, Groups, and Podcasts.
No dark mode support or customizable backgrounds, which users desire.
Some features like 'mail this' stopped working and slow initial loading have been reported.

Recent reviews

For some reason, "mail this" part of the app has quit working for quite some time now. Have no issues with Chromium based browsers.

Is Google App Launcher 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.

Google App Launcher 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.

Google App Launcher has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
