User reviews

Readeck is a popular, free, and open-source Firefox add-on praised as a strong alternative to Pocket, especially for users running self-hosted Docker containers. It generally works well and is appreciated for its content saving and tagging features. Some users note usability quirks like sidebar behavior and limited recognition of some web pages. Additionally, it lacks support for local LAN servers without HTTPS and is not yet available on Firefox for Android.
Pros
  • Readeck is a free and open-source alternative to Pocket, especially for users with self-hosted Docker container setups.
  • The add-on works reliably with no reported major issues in normal conditions.
  • Users appreciate its functionality and find it fantastic for saving web pages.
  • It supports tagging and selection saving, offering flexible ways to save content.
Cons
  • The extension has some usability preferences that differ from Pocket, such as opening a sidebar rather than directly adding pages.
  • It sometimes does not recognize many web pages correctly, prompting users to save selections instead of full pages.
  • It does not support connections to local LAN servers without HTTPS, IP addresses, or non-standard ports, causing connectivity errors.
  • There is no current version compatible with Firefox on Android.

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.

Readeck requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
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.

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