User Reviews
Thank you for this great extension, best home page ever.

Great add-on for taking notes, I enjoy the dark theme and simple interface.
One minor gripe/question: is there an option somewhere to reset the cursor of a new tab to the address bar, rather than the Tad note every time?
I find myself regularly editing the note I have in Tad instead of going to a page in a new window. New tabs in a window don't have this issue.

Is Prototype 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.
Prototype requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.
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.
Prototype has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
