Features & Capabilities

Goto foo is a more flexible alternative to Firefox's "Open Link" feature. For example, it can yank xample․co from https://example․com, whereas Firefox only lets you open the complete URL. Inspired by Chrome's "Go to [url]" feature, which is why I haven't published this extension for Chrome.

Runs without any permissions by default, but granting "your data on all websites" lets it process text before the context menu appears:

Permissionless: [Goto "any selected text" as URL], no filtering. Invalid text leads to an error page.
With permission: [Goto https://formatted․url], with non-URLs omitted.

Goto foo is Free Software (MPL2.0 license) with no ads or tracking.

Is Goto foo 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.

Goto foo 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.

Goto foo is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
