User Reviews

Users praise QuickDrag WE for being simple and time-saving, especially text-drag to search or open results in a new tab and for opening dragged links in new tabs. However, several reviews note instability with updates/Firefox versions (including occasional install corruption) and inconsistent drag behavior across content types and sites.

Pros

Easy to use and straightforward for quick drag-and-browse actions.
Text dragging to search and highlighting text to push to a new tab is a standout, time-saving feature.
Saves time and is a very useful tool for fast browsing and opening results quickly.
Dragging links can open them in a new tab, improving browsing workflow.
Actively maintained and updated to keep improving the addon.

Cons

Instability across updates and Firefox versions can break functionality, including occasional install corruption.
Drag reliability varies by content: some images with links can’t be dragged reliably.
Text-drag behavior can be inconsistent on some sites, with dragging text sometimes not working as expected.

Is QuickDrag WE 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.

QuickDrag WE requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

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