User reviews

Users find Hyper Drag very useful and efficient for enhancing browsing through drag-and-drop actions such as opening links or searching text. The add-on is praised for flexibility, customizable tab behavior, and long-term reliability. However, multiple reviews report functionality issues on certain websites where the extension only opens new tabs but does not execute searches or configured actions properly. Additional requests include the ability to disable the add-on on specific sites and improvements to image saving. Users also desire more transparency regarding privacy and data handling.

Thanks to the author. Can you add a timeout setting? For example, if I drag a link and I don't release the mouse for more than 500ms (users can set the time themselves), the dragging behavior will be canceled. Compared with the min drag distance, I prefer timeout.

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.

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 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.

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