Features & Capabilities

OPPS is completely non-profit. We do not sell data or make money from your data. Indeed, we neither collect individual data nor can we see individual data.

Our top priorities are privacy and security: all collected data is encrypted and analyzed anonymously at an aggregated level. The TOPSS extension has been engineered with robust measures to ensure that personal information remains private and secure, aligning with our commitment to user privacy and data protection standards. Further details on our state-of-the-art privacy protection are available on the project website: https://op-ps.org/

Is Online Privacy-Protected Synthesizer 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.

Online Privacy-Protected Synthesizer 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 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.

Online Privacy-Protected Synthesizer is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
