User Reviews

OpenLorem is appreciated for its reliable generation of random dummy text, versatile HTML options, and seamless context menu integration. Users value its open-source nature and rich feature set, including unique text types like bacon and dino ipsum. However, privacy concerns arise due to extensive permissions requested. The add-on lacks certain usability features such as offline mode, copy-to-clipboard button, better naming conventions, and markdown support. Overall, it is a useful tool with room for enhancements to improve user experience and security.

Context menu integration is praised for ease of adding text via right-click.

Requires broad permissions like access to all website data and browser tabs, causing privacy concerns.
Missing certain user-friendly features like 'copy all' button and right-click support in input fields.

Some interface elements like button names could be more intuitive (e.g., 'Display' vs 'Refresh').
No incrementers on quantity fields and no markdown output option, limiting usability.

Is OpenLorem 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.

OpenLorem requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
