PayWall

Helps tell you what websites use pay walls.

Features & Capabilities

PayWall is a helpful Chrome extension designed to alert users about news websites that require subscriptions for access. When browsing Google search results, PayWall identifies links leading to stories behind hidden paywalls and highlights them in green. This visual cue informs you ahead of time which news articles are inaccessible without a subscription, helping you avoid frustration and save time. With PayWall, you can efficiently navigate search results and make informed choices about the content you want to access.

Is PayWall 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

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