User Reviews

Users praise Hyper Drag for being very convenient, easy to use, and productive, with many long-time users calling it a must-have. The extension is reliable and flexible, offering a broad drag-and-search workflow that works well in many contexts. However, multiple reviews report site-specific compatibility problems, causing unexpected behavior on certain pages. There are also issues with search actions not triggering consistently (sometimes opening a new tab instead of performing searches) and occasional bugs like active-tab behavior. Requests include custom search engines and per-domain options.

Pros

Reliable and a long-time favorite among users.

Cons

Site compatibility issues on some websites causing misbehavior.
Inconsistent drag/search behavior, sometimes opening a new tab instead of triggering the search.

Is Hyper Drag 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.

Hyper Drag 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 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.

Hyper Drag has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
