User Reviews

Totally rubbish, malicious extension. Brakes GMail attachment download. IMPOSSIBLE to know that this crappy extension brakes that - because no informative icon. I wasted 1 hour of my time debugging extensions and disabling 100 of good security extensions, which actually worked fine. I advise to stay away of this extension, it can't be used and brakes websites.

Is Origin Enforcer 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.

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