PP Interrupter Firefox

PP Interrupter

By: JRF
Interrupts web-navigation to specified urls in order to Protect Privacy. Unlike other blockers, this add-on is intended to block healthy sites, not malicious sites. You can habituate yourself to stop once before automatic redirection.

Features & Capabilities

This add-on is a general purpose add-on that temporarily blocks access to specified URLs and releases the block by clicking the icon in the address bar. You can habituate yourself to stop once before automatic redirection. Unlike other blockers, this add-on is intended to block healthy sites, not malicious sites.

The sites that we always use may suddenly attempt to steal data about an authentication provider with malice. They might try to look at our privacy...

What we really want to do is to prohibit automatic redirection to malicious sites. However, it is difficult to judge whether it leads to a malicious site. Therefore, with the idea of reversal, we habituate ourselves to temporarily block access to a healthy site (authentication provider) which is easy to judge, so that by not having a block which we must have it is detected to be guided by a fraudulent site.

The PP Interrupter can be used for such purpose.

If a healthy site prohibits automatic redirection in the future, it is the turn of the PP Authorizer, a sister item of this add-on.

(This PP Interrupter (Original) doesn't work on the Firefox for Android. For the Android, the PP Interrupter Lite is available.)

このアドオンは、特定の URL へのアクセスを一旦ブロックし、アドレスバーに表示されるアイコンのクリックによってそのブロックを解除するという汎用のアドオンである。このアドオンにより、自動的なリダイレクトの前に一旦ストップする習慣を作ることができる。このアドオンは、他のブロッカーと違い、悪意のあるサイトではなく、健全なサイトをブロックすることを目的とする。

いつも使っているサイトが突然、悪意を持って認証局の情報を盗もうとするかもしれない。プライバシーを盗み見ようとするかもしれない…。

本当にやりたいのは、悪意のあるサイトへの自動的なリダイレクトを禁止することである。しかし、悪意のあるサイトへ導かれるかどうかは判定が難しい。そこで、逆転の発想で、判定が容易な健全なサイト(認証局)へのアクセスを一旦ブロックすることを習慣化し、ブロックがあるはずなのにないことによって、詐欺サイトに導かれたことを検知するようにするのだ。

PP Interrupter はそのような目的で使うことができる。

もし、将来、健全なサイトが自動的なリダイレクトを禁じるようになったときは、このアドオンの姉妹品である PP Authorizer の出番である。

(この PP Interrupter (Original) は Firefox for Android では動作しない。Android では PP Interrupter Lite を使っていただきたい。)

Is PP Interrupter 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
  • Medium ******* ******* ************* ***** *** ** ******* *** **** ******* ****** ******** *******
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.

PP Interrupter has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
  • Low **** ********* *** ******* **** **** * ****** **** ***** ******** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
