User reviews

Users appreciate Remoku as a free remote replacement for Roku devices and its keyboard feature easing password entry. However, most reviews criticize its unreliable device detection—both scan and manual IP input—and frequent connectivity issues. The extension lacks volume control and support, resulting in a buggy and sometimes unusable experience. While it worked well previously on Firefox and the website, the Chrome extension currently fails to meet expectations for many users.

Manual IP input allows use when scan feature fails.

Cons

Lacks support, help, and has a cluttered user interface.

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.

Remoku does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

Remoku is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this extension.
