User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's effectiveness in clearly highlighting nofollow and dofollow links, its thoughtful design, and reliable performance. The responsive developer is also praised. However, a common issue is that the add-on does not save user options between browser sessions, forcing repeated configuration. Another concern is the occasional invisible popup that interferes with closing browser tabs. Overall, the add-on is valued for its core functionality despite these usability problems.

Pros

Effectively highlights nofollow and dofollow links, making it easy to identify link types.
User-friendly and well-designed with quality features.
Works reliably and performs the task it promises.
Responsive author who addresses issues.
Useful tool for users needing to check backlinks or link attributes.

Cons

Does not save options after browser restart, requiring reconfiguration each time (mentioned in multiple reviews).
Creates an invisible popup window that sometimes prevents closing Firefox tabs, causing inconvenience.

It creates some sort of invisible popup window which sometimes prevents the Fireforx tabs from being closed. It does not happen always and I had hard time figuring this out. If you click the close button of a tab a toolwindow close button appears over the Firefox main window close button and the tab close action is prevented - it is how I found this out. I like it overall, but that is unacceptable.

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.

NoFollow 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.

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