Reading Info Firefox

Reading Info

Show reading time, word, and character counts in a toolbar popup.

Features & Capabilities

Shows reading info for text on webpages, articles, and selected text. If the page has an article element it's info will be prioritized. Displays both the total character count with and without white space.

Also shows the number of screen lengths and a progress percentage of how far scrolled down the page is.

Note that the information excludes textboxes and hidden text such as drop downs or tabbed interfaces. Or may include text that might be irrelevant for reading such as long lists of sources, tables, headers, and footers.

Features the ability to change the words per minute reading speed, and an option to show both webpage info and article info. Set a command keyboard shortcut to open the pop-up.

Is Reading Info 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.

Reading Info does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
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.

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