Page Hacker Firefox

Page Hacker

Edit in Firefox the page displayed in any tab, with formatting tools.

Features & Capabilities

Page Hacker is a versatile Firefox extension that allows you to instantly edit the content of any webpage you are viewing. By pressing the Page Hacker button or hitting Ctrl+F2, a floating toolbar appears, enabling you to format text easily as if you were using a text editor. This extension is perfect for removing unwanted content before printing, creating playful hoaxes by modifying page text temporarily, or even using Firefox as a quick text editor on a blank tab.

All changes made with Page Hacker are temporary and only visible to you, ensuring the original page remains unchanged for other users. If you're seeking permanent modifications, consider using tools like Greasemonkey. Page Hacker blends convenience and creativity, enhancing your browsing experience with simple editing tools directly within Firefox.

Is Page Hacker 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.

Page Hacker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Page Hacker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
