User Reviews
This extension is easy to use and it's getting better and better with each new release. I just love it!

If you can tolerate the low number of users, not being a recommended extension (not "monitored" by Mozilla), and possibly a pseudonymous author, this is one of the most comprehensive malware and phishing page blockers. The most intrusive permission, "Access your data for all websites," is also optional. Search for more comments about this extension on the MalwareTips forum, where the extension author also contributes.

Is Osprey: Browser Protection 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.
Osprey: Browser Protection 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.
Osprey: Browser Protection is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
