User reviews

Multiple users report that the MagicCast add-on does not function properly, with many unable to start casting or find any usable interface. A recurring issue is the add-on requesting a 'Device ID' without explaining where to obtain this information, causing frustration and inability to use the add-on. Although some users found it 'Great' or 'cool,' the majority highlight the lack of instructions and functionality as major problems.

Pros

Some users found it 'Great' or 'cool'.
Appears to have potential casting functionality.

Cons

Requires a 'Device ID' or some unique identifier that users cannot find or understand where to obtain.
Lack of instructions or clear explanation about how to use the add-on or get the required ID.
No visible icon or interface to initiate casting, leading to confusion.

Extension safety

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.

MagicCast 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

MagicCast has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
