Version:

1.1.0

Last updated: 2026-06-06

Features & Capabilities

A browser extension that moves the README to the top of repository pages on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, above the branch picker and file browser.

When you land on a repository page, ReadmeUp physically reorders the existing DOM elements so the README (and Contributing/License sections) appears first, above the branch chooser and file listing. No new elements are injected and no extra network requests are made. The original page order is restored when you navigate away and re-applied on each SPA navigation.

Features:

Works with markdown READMEs and plain-text READMEs
Collapse/expand toggle to hide the README when you need it out of the way, with the state remembered per repo across browser sessions -Per-repo toggle in the popup to permanently disable ReadmeUp on any individual repository

Is ReadmeUp 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.

ReadmeUp 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.

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