User reviews

Users praise PronounDB as a well-implemented and innovative Firefox add-on that functions smoothly without issues. However, multiple reviewers express concerns about its limited pronoun options, notably its lack of support for custom, combination, and neopronouns. Additionally, the extension's requirement for broad website access permissions is viewed as a security risk. Enhancing pronoun flexibility and tightening permissions are common suggestions for improvement.

Pros

Offers a useful feature that many users appreciate and see as a needed addition.
The idea behind the extension is considered excellent and innovative.

Cons

Lacks support for custom or combination pronouns like 'they/he'.
Does not support neopronouns adequately, limiting its usefulness for some users.
Requires overly broad permissions, accessing all websites which raises security concerns.

Extension safety

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.

PronounDB requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

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