User reviews

HTTP Header Live is praised for its usefulness in monitoring HTTP headers and the solid work behind it. However, multiple users identify challenges in copying header information due to interface limitations, leading to disrupted workflows. There are also requests for UI improvements such as opening in the sidebar or a new browser tab rather than a separate window, and for adding a direct 'Copy To Clipboard' function to enhance usability.

Pros

The add-on is very helpful and useful for inspecting HTTP headers.
Users commend the development team for their good work and functionality.
It provides live HTTP header monitoring which is appreciated by users.

Cons

Lacks a 'Copy To Clipboard' feature which users want for easier data extraction.
The interface for selecting and copying header data is not intuitive and hampers workflow.
Users wish for the add-on to open in the sidebar or a new tab instead of a separate window for better integration.

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.

HTTP Header Live 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.

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