User Reviews

Users find PageExpand convenient and easy for expanding images and appreciate the Chrome→Firefox availability. Repeated complaints are a bug that saves images as "untitled", compatibility issues on Twitter (flicker/cropping), and that the extension is feature‑heavy/intrusive, causing slowdowns or difficulty limiting its scope.
Pros
  • Convenient and generally useful for viewing/expanding images (multiple users praised its utility)
  • Easy to use / user-friendly (several reviews said it was simple to use)
  • Available across browsers / appreciated Chrome→Firefox port (users noted and appreciated the Firefox availability and Chrome counterpart)
Cons
  • Saving expanded or popup images sometimes produces the filename "untitled" (reported in multiple reviews)
  • Compatibility problems with Twitter (image/video flickering, popup cropping)
  • Feature bloat and intrusiveness: many features can slow pages, settings are overwhelming, and it can inject into pages/behave as if hard to fully disable

Is PageExpand 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.

PageExpand requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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.

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