Safe Links Cleaner Firefox

Safe Links Cleaner

Correct the display and quoting of links mangled by Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Links.

Features & Capabilities

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Links is a technology that rewrites links in mail messages, so links to unsafe sites can be disabled. The downside is that the resulting links are hard to read in plain text mail, and it's difficult to see the actual target of the link before clicking on it.

This addon does several things:

  • The display of any safe links is changed to show the original link. When clicking the link, the safe link is still used. This makes plain text links readable again.
  • A tooltip is added to all safe links showing the original link. This lets you check the target before clicking.
  • A "copy original link" menu item is included in the context menu for safe links. Sometimes you need to access the original link, and this lets you do that.
  • When responding to a message containing safe links, they are rewritten to their original links so quoted messages are readable.

Is Safe Links Cleaner 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.

Safe Links Cleaner 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.

Safe Links Cleaner has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
