Features & Capabilities

Motivation: I was sick of being unable to right-click copy google links. I was sick of noscript warning me about a potential identity leak (see https://noscript.net/usage/#crosstab-identity-leak-protection).

Technical This adjusts google links in two scenarios:

Search (google.*/search) The "data-jsarwt" attribute is stripped.
Image (google.*/imgres) The attribute "rlhc" is added.

Alternatives The uBlock filter "uBlock filters – Annoyances" can currently achieve the same result (but not for image search), but using a different mechanism. See here for more info: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/7960

Is No Google Link Hijack 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.

No Google Link Hijack requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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.

No Google Link Hijack is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
