PrivateX Firefox

PrivateX

This add-on lets you open websites with critical user information [Like banking, travel sites,etc] in a private window, without the hassle of copying the URL 🥳💥 Also, it removes the Google Analytics tracking token (UTM) from the URL by default 💫

Features & Capabilities

This add-on lets the user open websites with critical user information [Like banking, travel sites, etc] in a private window, without the hassle of copying the URL and such. To use the add-on, simply click the add-on button (which looks like a magician's glasses striked through) in the address bar, and if the site you're viewing is supported by our add-on, you'll be able to open it in a Private Window with a single-click. In case the add-on doesn't work on a URL, please mail us at jyotsna17gupta [AT] gmail [DOT] com and we'll get back to you shortly, if and when we'll be able to support that URL.

Also, this extension by default chops off ✂️ the Google Analytics tracking (i.e. Urchin Tracking Monitor) tokens from the URL's query string before the web Request is made. So, this extension provides more private browsing experience with cleaner and shorter URL.

PrivateX strips utm_* tokens (for instance, "utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss") from URLs to prevent the user from being tracked.

Example of URL with UTM tokens: https://www.example.com/page?utm_content=buffercf3b2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

URL after installing PrivateX 🎉 : https://www.example.com/page

Is PrivateX 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.

PrivateX 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.
  • Critical ****** ****** ** ******* ***** ***** *** ** **** ** ***** **** ******** ****** *** ******** ********** * ******* ********
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
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.

PrivateX is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
