Does way more than it says it does, making this only work for proxies with Utrecht Uni. Edit: The problem is it automatically appends "." to the prefix and automatically dons the Utrecht postfix when that configuration field is empty. I'll publish a fork a that works soon.

What exactly does this add-on do? I think it might be usful, but cant see any discernable change. Maybe some examples and a better writeup that that it uses the proxy details of "Utercht university" would be good.

Is Rewrite URL with Proxy 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.

Rewrite URL with Proxy 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.

Rewrite URL with Proxy may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
