User reviews

Users generally enjoy the festive and customizable snow effect this extension adds to their browser, especially during the holiday season. It is easy to use and brings a cheerful ambiance. However, many users express frustration over the lack of an on/off toggle or choice of active sites, making it always visible. Some report difficulty in uninstalling and occasional malfunction. While some find it cute and subtle, others find it distracting when it blocks screen content. Overall, a fun but somewhat limited and occasionally problematic extension.

Pros

Adds a fun and festive visual effect to the browser, especially appreciated during Christmas season.
Easy to set up and use, providing an enjoyable experience that can make users smile.
Customization options available such as different shapes (snowflakes, stars, dots), size and amount, and interactive effects like windspeed and snowmelt.
Subtle yet noticeable effect that enhances the browsing experience without being overly distracting.
Appreciated for its novelty and ability to bring a seasonal ambiance to the screen.

Cons

Lacks an easy on/off toggle or control button within the browser toolbar, making it difficult for users to enable or disable the effect as desired.
No option to select on which web pages or sites the effect appears; the extension is always active once installed.
Some users reported difficulty uninstalling or deleting the extension from their browser.
A few users found the snow effect annoying or distracting because it can block or obscure content on the screen.
Several reviews mentioned the extension sometimes not working properly or causing unexpected behavior like displaying a white box instead of the falling snow effect.

This is pretty neat! Customizations are limited but there isn't too much more I would ask for aside for glitter. (: There are snowflakes, stars, or dots available currently. The size and amount of each can be increased or decreased. Opting for windspeed changes the direction as you move your mouse or touch the screen. "Snowmelt" makes the shapes stick and fade over time at the bottom of the screen. I currently have pink stars falling to melt on my screen. At Christmas time I used white dots and all of my co-workers loved it. Add glitter for the win!!!!

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.

Snow for Google Chrome requires very minimum permissions.
