Landmarks

Landmark Navigation via Keyboard or Pop-up

The Landmarks Chrome extension enhances web navigation by allowing users to jump between defined landmark regions like navigation bars, search areas, and main content. Utilizing keyboard shortcuts or an intuitive pop-up menu, this tool empowers users to quickly access significant areas of a web page—provided the page author has included landmark attributes.

Designed with accessibility in mind, Landmarks runs automatically on all pages to detect landmark regions and update the toolbar badge accordingly. The extension respects user privacy by not collecting any data. Originally developed by David Todd at IBM, this extension continues to evolve with community support, making web browsing more efficient and accessible.

For those like me who closed the page after install and couldn't find anymore how to navigate. (listing them in the toolbar icon or in the options would help with discoverability a lot) Shortcut Key You can use shortcut keys to navigate between landmarks. By default, the keys are: Next landmark: Alt+Shift+N Previous landmark: Alt+Shift+P Main landmark: Alt+Shift+M Open the landmarks pop-up: Alt+Shift+L, then use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between buttons, Space or Enter to move focus to a landmark and Escape to close the pop-up. (On a Mac, use the Option key, which is equivalent to Alt.)

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.

Landmarks requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Landmarks has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
