User reviews

Users praise the Wolfram|Alpha Chrome extension for its powerful computational capabilities and as an indispensable resource for students and professionals in science and math. The extension simplifies complex calculations and provides automatic unit conversions. However, many users note that the extension functions mainly as a quick search link to the website rather than offering integrated in-extension results. Requests for tighter integration and more accessible free features are common. Despite minor complexity in data input and occasional reliability concerns, the extension is widely regarded as a valuable and time-saving tool.

Pros

Provides quick and accurate computations with automatic units conversion.
Acts as a comprehensive tool for various subjects, including physics, math, and science.

Cons

The extension mainly acts as a search box redirecting users to the Wolfram|Alpha website, lacking deeper integration within the extension itself.
Users desire better integration with browsers or other search engines instead of opening a new tab.
Some users find the interface or input methods somewhat complex initially.
Certain advanced features or solution displays are behind paywalls, limiting free usage.
One user mentioned that the extension stopped working, indicating possible reliability issues.

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.

Wolfram|Alpha (Official) requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low Allows usage of omnibox input, negligible risk as it pertains largely to user input enhancements.
