Features & Capabilities

Proxy CAPES rewrites the addresses of academic sites to the CAPES Journal Portal's EZproxy, giving you access to the content your institution subscribes to. For example, ieeexplore.ieee.org becomes ieeexplore-ieee-org.ez19.periodicos.capes.gov.br.

Features: - Open through CAPES: a button (or the Alt+Shift+C shortcut) toggles the current tab between the original URL and the proxied version. The same action lives in the right-click menu, which also offers "Open link through CAPES." - Automatic redirect: with automatic mode on, only the domains in an editable list get converted on their own, and every other site opens normally. - Institution login: save your CAFe institution once and sign in directly, without hunting through the whole list every time. - Session check: shows whether you have an active session on the proxy. - Diagnostics and Import databases: test your list using your signed-in session and suggest changes, always with your confirmation.

The extension does not collect or send any data to third parties. It only accesses periodicos.capes.gov.br to rewrite URLs and check your session, and it stores your preferences locally.

Is Proxy CAPES 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.

Proxy CAPES requires a few 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 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.

Proxy CAPES is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
