User Reviews

It override my stylus theme, I tried .tooltipDiv {background-color: #0f1b1b !important;font-size: 18px !important;} and it only work for less than a second. I want it more readable for old user. Edit:MB it's Dark Background and Light Text fault, I need to set it to css-only to not override other addon style

Is PopUp Encyclopedia 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.

PopUp Encyclopedia requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
