Features & Capabilities

When you navigate to any previously visited page that now returns an error (e.g. 404, or your network is offline), a new tab will open with the previous cached version.

THE CACHE IS NEVER CLEARED, so the archive CAN GET LARGE if you browse around a lot. But as it's text only and per unique url max. 25 kB, it should not be too bad.

PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE: Configurable clearing strategy, blacklist sites or errors, configurable saving format besides text, export function, compression, full text search (the latter is hard to do with web extensions, so probably never). None of that exists yet however.

To purge the cache, you need to dig into your local browser extension folder.

Is Local Cache 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.

Local Cache requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

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