LinkNotes Firefox

LinkNotes

Add personalised notes to your links using tooltips.

Features & Capabilities

My motivation: I don’t usually remember my interactions with social media users if they aren’t frequent, and I thought it would be useful to be able to add information to links leading to those users’ profiles or timelines, in case I come across them again, so I’d have some information about the type of user they are, their character, whether they’re interesting, whether it’s best to avoid them, etc.

It can also be useful as a reminder. For example, adding a note to an online shop link that you need to buy something, or if a particular link is interesting, or if you need to provide information, or keep something in mind.

v1.8.5: Added the ability to assign a text color, background color, font size, and font type to each URL/note pair, which can be reset using the red button.

Also added is the ability to add a note to the tab's URL, which will appear in the center of the page, at the top margin, for a specified duration, and can be made to disappear by moving the mouse.

If there is a URL that exactly matches the tab’s URL and has a note assigned to it, that note will be displayed. Otherwise, you can define a note for the host, and the note will appear in all windows/tabs for that host. In other words, if there is a note for the URL

https://web.com/blabla/bleble

that is the one that will be displayed, but you can also define a note for the general URL

https://web.com

and that note will appear on all pages of that host that do not have their own note assigned to their URL.

All information is stored locally; nothing is collected.

The text of the extension is in Spanish, but it should be pretty straightforward.

Is LinkNotes 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.

LinkNotes requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

LinkNotes is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
