Header Changer Firefox

Header Changer

Change title and icon displayed on tab

Features & Capabilities

This is a privacy enhancement tool that allows the user to change the title and icon displayed on the current tab. It is useful when you switch tabs and you don't want others to know what is on the other tab by reading the tab title or by looking at the tab icon. Note that there are some pages that block extensions from making changes to them like the Mozilla add-ons page and the new tab page.

Is Header Changer 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.

Header Changer 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.

Header Changer has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
