User Reviews

Users find LingQ Importer effective for YouTube video imports and language learning, but it struggles with Android compatibility, Firefox container support, and importing shows from streaming services like Hulu and Netflix. Longer videos get fragmented into out-of-order lessons, impacting usability. Overall, it works well in standard Firefox environments for certain content but lacks broader compatibility and reliable importing from multiple sources.
Pros
  • Works as advertised for YouTube videos.
  • Effective for language learning purposes as intended.
  • Generally performs well without container configurations.
Cons
  • Fails to work on Android devices.
  • Does not function properly with Firefox container tabs, showing login prompts despite being logged in.
  • Unable to import content correctly from streaming services like Hulu and Netflix, often only showing placeholders or sales copy instead of actual content.
  • Longer videos are split into multiple lessons which may be imported out of order, disrupting playlist continuity.

It's a shame. This addon used to work. But now nothing works at all. No YouTube, no Netflix. It only shows 'Loading'.

Is LingQ Importer 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.

LingQ Importer requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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 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.

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