Features & Capabilities

Pix Companion is a browser extension designed to support the French government's Pix digital skills certification. It enhances test security by automatically restricting access to prohibited websites during certification sessions, ensuring users cannot search for answers or consult unauthorized content. The filter activates at the start of a Pix test and deactivates at the end, monitoring browsing events and currently open tabs in real-time to maintain test integrity. Ideal for test-takers and administrators, Pix Companion helps maintain a fair and compliant digital skills assessment environment.

User Reviews

Pix Companion is criticized for bugs, intrusive behavior, and difficulty uninstalling, with users largely feeling stressed and overwhelmed during use. A minority sees it as a minor positive guard against PIX cheating, but overall the sentiment is negative due to reliability, usability, and invasiveness concerns.
Pros
  • Prevents cheating during PIX certifications.
  • Some reviewers express positive sentiment (e.g., calling it a 'Meilleur extension !').
Cons
  • Buggy and unreliable (reports of bugs, erroneous behavior, and mis-scoring).
  • Difficult or impossible to uninstall/remove.
  • Perceived as intrusive/surveillance-like (monitoring user actions across sites).
  • Poor UX/ergonomics (described with analogies like 'ergonomie d'un tank de 1914').
  • Causes significant stress and mental fatigue during use (feels like a battleground).

Is Pix Companion 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.

Pix Companion 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.

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