FLO Player is a Chrome extension designed to improve your experience watching lecture videos on Flinders University Online (FLO). It replaces the default Flash video player with a modern HTML5 player, reducing buffering delays and preventing unexpected crashes commonly caused by Flash. Users gain the ability to adjust playback speed, enhancing the flexibility of study sessions.

The extension was created to address streaming frustrations, especially on slower internet connections, making video lectures more accessible and enjoyable. While highly effective, it has a known limitation where videos from different academic years than your enrollment may not load properly. Feedback is welcomed to continuously enhance the experience. FLO Player aims to make studying at Flinders Uni smoother and more efficient.

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.

FLO Player 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 Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

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