User Reviews
Very usefull extension for someone who uses Perplexity on a daily bases.
One issue: when closing the sidebar, Perplexity site resets.

When installing and opening the tab for the first time, it fails. The sidebar page says that perplexity.ai doesn't want to let firfox open the page in the sidebar. As mentionned in another comment, this problem disappears when closing the sidebar and recharging it.
A possible fix would be for the dev to force recharging this page when installed? Or at least explain this "bug" in the install page of the addon?

Is Perplexity Sidebar 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.
Perplexity Sidebar requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
