Features & Capabilities

This is a simple, open source extension which makes browsing TV Tropes a lot easier by showing you simple explanations of links on TV Tropes, without you having to leave the page you're browsing. This is done by displaying the laconic text, for pages which have them, in a popover on links linking to Tropes.

This helps if you haven't happened to memorize every trope yet, or if you just want to know what trope a word is linking to, without leaving the page.

The popup works but it only ever displays "Loading...". I can't find a fix for it anywhere, so hopefully dev sees this.

Is Laconic Hover for TV Tropes 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.

Laconic Hover for TV Tropes requires very minimum permissions.
