Features & Capabilities

Lookahead uses a simple and minimal algorithm to navigate to your result. Use the "la" prefix to go straight there. Don't want to use the prefix? Sure, just disable the keyword in setting. Did it give you the wrong result?

No problem, use Shift+Alt-L and Shift+Alt-O(think of up and down on your keyboard) to cycle through the results. Even better, just do Shift+Alt+P to pick from the best results in a mini floating popup window, then press any number 1-9 to jump straight to your site!

User Reviews

Simple, fast, and super useful. Lookahead saves me time by taking me straight to the result I want, and preview mode makes searches way cleaner. Highly recommend!

This extension has been a game changer for me. Instead of wasting time clicking through search results, Lookahead just takes my query and gets me straight to the result I was looking for. The “la {query}” shortcut feels super smooth and Preview Mode is a nice touch when I just want a clean, simplified list of options. Some might call it “lazy,” but honestly it just makes searching way more efficient. It’s one of those small tools that ends up saving you loads of time every day. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Is Lookahead 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.

Lookahead 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.

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