User reviews

The Alexa Rank Firefox add-on is appreciated for its simple, direct display of website rankings without needing clicks, and for allowing color customization. However, multiple users report it stopped functioning following Firefox 109 update and due to Amazon retiring Alexa services. Users also note readability problems in dark mode and desire more intuitive design features like hover-to-view info. The add-on shows limited data fields compared to the Alexa service itself. Overall, it was a useful tool now limited by external service shutdown and updates.

Pros

Provides website world rank information simply and effectively
Does not require clicking an icon to view the rank, displays info directly in the address bar
Allows color customization of the displayed rank text
Lightweight, simple, and easy to use

Cons

Addon stopped working after Firefox version 109
No longer functional due to Amazon shutting down Alexa Internet and retiring Alexa APIs
Color display issues in dark mode making text hard to read
Lack of automatic info display on hover; requires click to show more details
Limited data fields shown (only Alexa rank, country, and country rank)

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.

Alexa Rank 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.

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