OPFS Explorer Firefox

OPFS Explorer

A powerful DevTools extension to inspect, manage, and edit files in the Origin Private File System (OPFS)

Features & Capabilities

OPFS Explorer - The Missing DevTools Panel for Origin Private File System

The Origin Private File System (OPFS) is a powerful browser API for high-performance file storage, but browsers don't provide any way to see what's inside. OPFS Explorer fills this gap by adding a dedicated panel to Chrome DevTools.

Is OPFS Explorer 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.

OPFS Explorer requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.
  • Medium ****** ** ********* ****** ********* *** **** ****** **** **** ** ******* ** ********** **** ***********
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.

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