User Reviews

Users praise Pretty XML for its attractive UI and ability to prettify and easily view XML, with many calling it one of Firefox's best XML viewers. However, recurring issues include caching that leaves stale XML on refresh, slow performance on larger files, and some missing configuration options (proxy setup, dark theme). A few users also note duplicate XML requests. Overall, strong positive sentiment with notable feature requests and a request for stability and configurability.

Is Pretty XML 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.

Pretty XML 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 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.

Pretty XML has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
