recrun

Retain essential content, remove unwanted noise.

Features & Capabilities

Retain essential content, remove unwanted noise.

recrun is an acronym that stands for "retain essential content, remove unwanted noise". It presents article web pages in a format optimized for reading.

To use recrun, install the extension, navigate to an article web page, and click the eyeglasses icon in the toolbar (there is an arrow pointing to this icon in the recrun screenshot).

Optionally, recrun can use the Diffbot Article API to extract relevant content. A Diffbot token is required for this, and must be entered in recrun's options. If Diffbot is enabled, each usage of recrun will make a Diffbot API call with your Diffbot token, using the URL of the page that you are viewing. By default, media specified in the Diffbot response will be retrieved and displayed in the recrun overlay. This can be disabled in recrun's options. By default, recrun's output uses the html field from the Diffbot response. This can be disabled in recrun's options.

recrun's options (including Diffbot token), are saved unencrypted in localStorage.

Is recrun 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.

recrun 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.

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