User reviews

Users find Eye Protector effective and easy to use for reducing eye strain on webpages and appreciate it as a good alternative after others were removed. However, multiple reports indicate that it does not consistently apply color changes on dynamic content or embedded areas, causing some discomfort. It also conflicts with online document editors, leading to color display issues. The extension offers limited customization options, and some webpage comment sections remain unaltered, detracting from the user experience.

Adds eye protection by changing webpage colors to reduce eye strain
Users appreciate the plugin's effectiveness and ease of use
Good for viewing videos and browsing for extended periods

Cons

Fails to alter colors in some embedded or specific webpage sections causing discomfort
Interference with some online document editors (e.g., Tencent and Kingsoft Excel/Docs) causing color issues
Some websites' comment sections remain with white backgrounds instead of eye protection colors
Limited customization options for colors

Extension safety

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.

Eye Protector requires very minimum permissions.

This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge 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 an Edge add-on.
