User reviews

Users appreciate that the add-on correctly identifies their local weather and allows hourly updates on demand. However, multiple reviews highlight issues such as the add-on not saving the user's city, malfunctioning after restarts, and being limited mainly to USA locations. Additionally, concerns about privacy arise due to the add-on requesting broad data access, and users note that the extension seems abandoned, with no updates occurring in years.

Pros

Accurately detects and displays the local weather location.
Weather forecast refreshes hourly upon user action.

Cons

Fails to remember user's city/location, requiring repeated input.
Does not function correctly after restarting the browser or computer.
Requests access to data for all websites, raising privacy concerns.
Appears abandoned with no updates for several years.
Functionality is limited or only works properly for USA locations.

Extension safety

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.

Forecast: Google™ Weather requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
