Search on GitHub Firefox

Search on GitHub

Highlight text, right click, search on Github

Features & Capabilities

A "Search on GitHub" item is available when you right-click some selected text you may want to query on GitHub. A new tab opens up with the GitHub search results of the highlighted text as if you would have launched the query from the original site.

Furthermore you do not necessary need to leave your current working page and/or do some extra "clicks, copy & paste or typing" usually required for such request and thus can remain focus on your workflow and the management of your very volatile short-term memory.

Is Search on GitHub 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.

Search on GitHub 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.

Search on GitHub is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
