User Reviews

Plasma Integration is seen as functional by some reviewers, with several praising the KDE team's work. The core debate centers on a new browser history permission: many users view it as invasive and want it optional or rolled back, though some note the history-search feature can be disabled via preferences. A few reviewers report compatibility quirks and one notes it isn’t available on Windows. Overall, the extension works for some but privacy concerns about history access dominate the discussion.

Pros

Generally works well and is useful.
Includes a history-search feature that can be turned off in the extension's preferences.
Positive sentiment toward the KDE team/development.

Cons

Access to browser history / history-read permission is invasive and should be optional or removed.

Is Plasma Integration 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.

Plasma Integration 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.

Plasma Integration has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
