User Reviews
This is a simple but very effective security extension. It automatically adds the noopener attribute to third-party links, which prevents websites from messing with the page you came from. It helps protect against certain types of attacks and privacy leaks without affecting normal browsing. Lightweight, fast, and great for improving security with zero effort.

Is Link Protector 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 Protector requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
