User Reviews

Overall, reviews are very positive, highlighting extensive customization, the ability to emulate older Scratch editors (1.4/2.0), and a dark mode for easier viewing. Users feel it enhances Scratch beyond the default experience. A minority note a Firefox-specific bug where selections can be turned off after some time, and some request improved cross-version editor consistency, but these do not detract from the broadly favorable sentiment.
Pros
  • Extensive UI customization options beyond the default Scratch.
  • Ability to emulate older Scratch editors (1.4/2.0) and adjust layout/settings.
  • Dark mode for easier viewing and reduced eye strain.
  • Overall enhancement with extra features that improve Scratch usability.
Cons
Recent reviews
The extension is really good and adds a ton of useful addons to the site that make it a hundred times easier to create projects, customize the site in the way you want it, make navigating the site easier, and so much more. If this extension didn't exist it would take forever to make things. The only problem is that sometimes after having the extension installed for a certain amount of time, all addons enabled would stop working randomly with the extension being completely broken while infinitely loading with the only fix being deleting and reinstalling the app. Other than that the app is amazing for Scratch and I do recommend it as it makes basically everything a lot more convenient with the built in addons.

Is Scratch Addons 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.

Scratch Addons requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
