User reviews

Users appreciate Pushbullet for its device syncing and messaging capabilities, praising its long-term utility and helpfulness. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues with the Firefox extension, including frequent breakage after browser updates, login problems preventing device linking, and incomplete feature support. Additionally, some users experience duplicate device notifications and have expressed frustration over discontinued iOS support. Despite these challenges in Firefox, many continue to find value in Pushbullet's overall functionality.

I've been trying for weeks to get this extension working in a new browser. No matter what I try, I cannot get it signed in. I've used Pushbullet for over a decade, but that will come to an end very soon if I can't find a way past this issue.

I have been using Firefox for few months now and this App/Extension saved me many headaches, but since 2 weeks the Firefox extension no longer works: it is logged in but doesn't send or open links between Firefox and my android device.

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.

Pushbullet requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

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.

Pushbullet has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
