Features & Capabilities

OpenBubble is a browser extension that aims to confuse advertising companies such as Google, Facebook,... about your interests. Too much personalised search and algorithmic management of your access to information results in creating various bubbles around you as a user and this has obviously its benefits but also dangers. OpenBubble generates and pushes behavioural data to numerous advertising companies and corporations by obfuscating their available Application Programming Interfaces (API). OpenBubble uses obfuscation as its tactic to challenge and disrupt some of the methods commonly used on the internet to capture users’ behavioural data. By obfuscating and disrupting data surveillance, this work also expands and disrupts users’ knowledge bubbles.

Is openbubble 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.

openbubble 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.

openbubble is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
