Amazing add

by An*****, 2024-04-11

I am writing this review after seeing the 1 star review. Even made an account for it. I have been using this addon for a while on vanilla FireFox, but also have just added it to LibreWolf (Basically a more secure version of FireFox). This seems to be the only dyslexia add-on that works on LibreWolf, which I honestly do not mind, as this add-on hasn't let me down yet. The text is easy to read, and more importantly to myself, its as easy to use as adding it and turning it on. While I do not have the technical know-how to verify how safe this add-on is, I personally trust and will continue to use it. Additionally, if you're anything like me, this is also useful for those who have difficulty reading but do not have dyslexia. Such as poor vision, astigmatism, visual snow, so on and so forth.

Is OpenDyslexic for Firefox 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.

OpenDyslexic for Firefox requires a few 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.

OpenDyslexic for Firefox may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
