User Reviews

I just came upon this addon today. I have always had trouble distinguishing between dark blue and purple links, and so decided to try this addon. I particularly liked the idea of the Block and Allow lists feature. However, I am running Firefox 152.0.5, and it does not work on some sites, and I cannot figure out why Need help to make this delightful sounding app actually work

Is Link Control 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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