User reviews

Users appreciate Random Quote for providing motivational quotes and a clean, minimalist new tab experience. It inspires positivity and is easy to use. However, many users complain that it completely replaces the default new tab, limiting access to quick shortcuts and Google search. Some find it hard to uninstall, and the background images sometimes load slowly. The quote database is seen as limited and rarely updated, and there is a desire for more customization options like changing background colors or adding personal quotes.

Hey! Thank you for this great extension. There's only one more thing that I'd ask of it that it would change just the background of my new tab so that my quick access shortcuts are still displayed on the screen.

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.

Random Quote requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

Random Quote has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
