User Reviews

Users appreciate Privacy Settings for its quick and convenient access to important privacy controls, like referrer settings and fingerprinting resistance, helping enhance browser privacy. It's also valued for toggling default prompts such as 'Save Password'. However, users express concerns over the developer's lack of response, difficulty understanding certain settings, and a bug with rejecting tracking cookies. Some desire more granular, per-site configuration akin to other extensions.

Pros

Helps increase browser privacy with options like referrer control and fingerprinting resistance.

Is Privacy Settings 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.

Privacy Settings requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Can change privacy settings, which if misused, may compromise user privacy.

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.

Privacy Settings has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
