User Reviews

User reviews indicate that while the add-on performs its basic function well, it is largely considered obsolete. A major concern is the lack of language options; the add-on defaults to Russian and does not support other languages like Polish or English, making it difficult to use for non-Russian speakers. Despite occasional positive remarks, language limitations and outdated status are the most frequently cited issues.

Pros

The add-on functions as intended for some users, described simply as 'good'.
Provides basic plugin checking functionality.

Cons

The add-on appears to be obsolete or outdated.
Lacks language support for multiple languages, defaulting to Russian without alternatives.
No option to change language settings, leading to usability issues for non-Russian speakers.

Is PlugIn-Checker 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.

PlugIn-Checker requires a few 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.
