doesnt work on every explicit website.

Hello, I'm currently testing parental control systems to see which adult content tagging systems they respect. With all the adult content filters enabled, this extension fails to block sites based on various meta tags used by adult websites to identify themselves as such. I've tested the following meta tags in use by adult websites and none of them cause the page to be blocked: <meta name="rating" content="adult" /> <meta name="rating" content="mature" /> <meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA" /> <meta name="rating" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA" /> This lets me access 18+ twitter profiles which would otherwise be blocked. Also, all adult sites I've checked so far include at least one of these tags, so I think it makes sense to check for them.

Is Safe Web 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 Web requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
  • High ****** ********* ** * ****** ******** ******** ********** * ******* ******* *****
  • Low ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ****************** ***********
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 Web has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
