Redirectify-CERN Firefox

Redirectify-CERN

By: dguest
Redirects requests for PDFs of papers at some popular sites to their corresponding HTML index pages. This forked version includes some CERN-specific URLs

Features & Capabilities

Are you sick of people sending you direct links to PDFs when what you want is the PDF and the context? In a lot of cases a simple regex can transform the direct link into a page which hosts the PDF. Sure, you could take the 5 seconds to do this yourself, but it gets annoying, and what fun would that be anyway?

This version has special support for CERN hosting sites like Indico and CDS.

Is Redirectify-CERN 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.

Redirectify-CERN 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.

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