Features & Capabilities

Displays the PageRank of open page with icon and badge. Quick access to Alexa, backlinks and indexed pages in the popup.

This extension gets the toolbar PageRank of the page open in the current tab. If it fails it tries getting the PR of the hostname instead, and if that succeeds it shows the PR followed by the letter h. If neither succeeds (if the site doesn't have a PR or for some reason the extension isn't working as it should) it will show a greyed-out question mark.

Possible values are 0-10, 0h-10h as well as ? if something went wrong. This extension generates the hash itself and does not rely on any external sites to fetch the PR for it (except Google, of course). This does not make it slower, however, it's by far the fastest PR extension I've ever used.

When you click the extension icon it will bring up a popup/overlay with links to several things interesting when analysing a site, such as pages indexed by Google, Alexa information and backlinks from Yahoo! Site Explorer.

Is PageRank Display 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.

PageRank Display 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.

PageRank Display may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
