Link Revealer Firefox

Link Revealer

See the true URL for all links and improve your security!

Features & Capabilities

Link Revealer add-on is designed to improve your online security. When you hover on any link element, the underlying - href - will be displayed as the link's title. Moreover, a colored footer will also be displayed at the bottom of the page showing the link href.

If the domain of the link is similar to the page domain, this color will be BLUE. If the link is third-party the color is GREEN. For a situation where the displayed URL in the link's text-content is different than the underlying href, the footer color will be RED. The toolbar icon color will also be updated according to the above rules.

For any link, if you right-click and select - Scan link for threats, the add-on scans the link with virustotal JavaScript API. When you first install the add-on, please visit the options page to activate the virus check API. Once the API is activated you can scan 4 links per minute. From toolbar popup, you can also turn the add-on ON or OFF. Moreover, you can hide the page footer if you found it inconvenient. Please note that you can still scan links for threats even if the page footer is hidden.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form in the add-on's homepage.

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