Jira Diff Highlighter

Improves readability of Jira ticket diffs.

Features & Capabilities

Improves readability of Jira ticket diffs.

Jira Diff Highlighter is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox that enhances the readability of Jira issue description diffs. It transforms standard Jira diffs into a more user-friendly, side-by-side comparison with highlighted changes.

Key Features:

  • Enhanced Diff View: Transforms standard Jira diffs into a readable side-by-side comparison.
  • Highlighted Changes: Clearly see additions, deletions, and modifications with color-coded highlights.
  • Configurable Large Change Handling: Choose the character limit for collapsing large insertions or deletions, keeping long Jira updates readable without cluttering the page.
  • Show Full Text: Expand any collapsed large change inline when you need to inspect the full insertion or deletion.
  • Toggle On/Off: Switch between enhanced and original diff views from the extension popup.
  • Multi-Tab Support: Maintains consistent state across multiple Jira tabs.
  • Custom Jira Domains: Atlassian-hosted Jira works automatically, and custom Jira domains can be enabled with explicit per-site access.

Perfect for:

  • Developers reviewing code changes
  • Project managers tracking requirement updates
  • QA testers following bug report modifications
  • Anyone who frequently works with Jira issue descriptions

Jira Diff Highlighter works automatically on Atlassian-hosted Jira instances using atlassian.net subdomains. If your team uses Jira on a custom domain, you can add that domain from the extension popup and grant access only to that site.

Is Jira Diff Highlighter 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.

Jira Diff Highlighter requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.

Jira Diff Highlighter is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
