Recent reviews

Why did all windows reload when it was convenient for extensions to be adapted on a window-by-window basis? At least make it possible to select that feature in the settings

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.

Reload All Tabs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
