User Reviews

Users appreciate LibRedirect for its privacy-friendly redirect concept and for reducing login friction in some cases, and many see ongoing improvements and a better UI over time. However, recurring issues include limited and inconsistent frontend coverage due to backend gatekeeping, poor or unclear error messages, and the lack of per-site controls. Popular service gaps (Facebook/Instagram) further limit usefulness, and certain Wikipedia pages can block access with unhelpful errors. Overall, reliability and site support are the main recurring concerns.

Pros

Cons

Unreliable/limited coverage of alternative frontends due to backend gatekeeping; many services either don't work or are blocked, leading to inconsistent redirects across sites.
Inconsistent behavior and unclear error handling on some pages; no per-site disable option and an all-or-nothing approach for families (e.g., Wikipedia variants) can block access without helpful guidance.
Gaps in support for popular services (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) reduce usefulness and can require workarounds or manual additions.
Some pages, notably certain Wikipedia pages, get blocked or fail with non-informative errors, making troubleshooting difficult.

Is LibRedirect 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.

LibRedirect requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

LibRedirect is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
