User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise Right Links WE for reliably providing missing link-management features (opening links in new tabs) and for being easy to use (works well with touchpads and long-clicks). There are no widely repeated complaints; only isolated reports mention a Linux cursor glitch, homepage/bookmark-bar link limitations, or context-menu behavior. Overall the add-on is valued for reliability and practical link-opening functionality.

Pros

Reliable — multiple users say it "works" as described.
Provides missing Firefox behavior: opens and organizes links in new tabs.
Comfortable to use with varied input: praised for touchpad use and long-click workflow.

Cons

Спасибо. То, что не хватает firefox-у по умолчанию. (Вкладки - есть, а нормальная организация работы с ссылками, что бы они открывались в новых вкладках - не завезли). Именно такую функцию и помогает организовать данное дополнение.

Is Right Links WE 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.

Right Links WE requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
