Features & Capabilities

This extension is open-source and we do not track your data. BUT, it does send words selected to be translated directly to Google Translate, which can be a privacy risk. You should add websites you want the extension not to analyze to the exclusion list, or turn the extension off before visiting them. Be warned though that the extension starts to analyze a page when it starts to load so you should turn it off or add a page to the exclusion list before loading it.

User Reviews

GREAT PLUGIN. Really awesome for learning or reinforcing grammar. I of course wish there were more settings or features, especially a manual import csv option or an option to translate simpler/familiar sentences completely so it matches grammar structures, but given a single developer I'm very happy it works quite well as is and will continue to use until it stops working!

Is Progressive Immersion 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.

Progressive Immersion 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.

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.

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