User reviews

Users appreciate the utility of Vue.js devtools for development with Vue, but many express frustration due to the extension being outdated and not supporting newer versions like Pinia 3. Frequent technical issues such as the devtools window not appearing reliably and being overwritten by updates with no disable option cause major inconvenience. Some users recommend using complementary plugins or alternative solutions. Overall, the add-on is valued but hampered by maintenance and usability challenges.

Pros

Great developer tool for Vue.js framework
Useful when paired with certain other plugins like Vue Devtools Unlocker
Some users find it generally helpful and recommend related tools

Cons

Outdated version, not updated to support latest Vue or Pinia versions, especially Pinia 3
Frequent issues with the devtools not appearing or working properly in the console/F12 panel
Automatic updates overwrite older versions that some users prefer, with no option to disable auto-update
Control panel sometimes shows and sometimes doesn't, causing user frustration
Installation and usage instructions are unclear for some users, leading to difficulty in setup

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.

Vue.js devtools requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Medium ****** ** ********* ****** ********* *** **** ****** **** **** ** ******* ** ********** **** ***********

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge 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 an Edge add-on.

Vue.js devtools has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
