User reviews

Users report that while EXIF Viewer Pro can display image metadata, it frequently fails to function properly and consumes excessive CPU and memory resources. A significant concern is the extension's injection of Google Analytics tracking code on every visited page without an opt-out, causing privacy violations. Many users experience poor performance and lack of transparency, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and uninstalls.

Pros

Functionally capable of displaying EXIF data in images.
Some users find the extension useful for their needs.

Cons

Injects Google Analytics tracking code on every page visited without user consent or option to disable, raising serious privacy concerns.
High CPU and memory usage leading to significant system resource consumption and potential system slowdown.
Often does not work as intended or fails to display EXIF information on many websites or images.
Lack of proper privacy information and transparency about tracking behavior.
Extension may be buggy or poorly maintained, with delayed or no response to critical issues raised by users.

Found out this was injecting GA on EVERY PAGE, with no way to disable, after trying to figure out why my own web app was trying to load a GA tracking gif despite me definitely not putting it there. Was disappointed to find out the source - this extension is supposed to be for examining images, it has no business injecting tracking code into every page I visit by default. If you want to add it to the page when I interact with the extension, that's one thing, but injecting it on every page indiscriminately is intrusive and borderline malicious. I have lots of extensions that actually are intended to modify every page and not a single one has that behavior except this one. I see that the dev said the "next version" would have the ability to disable this, but: a) Sending analytics to every page should be opt in, not opt out b) Considering that comment was 6 months ago, the dev is either not prioritizing this, or is having trouble with Mv3 (in which case the extension will be disabled soon anyway) If this gets removed or changed to opt-in (or at least only injected when there's an interaction with the extension) I'll happily change this rating

Careful! this extension is poorly implemented. Can take about 20% of your CPU. Also, lame GA tracking implementation: tracks way more than needed.

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.

EXIF Viewer Pro requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

EXIF Viewer Pro has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
