Features & Capabilities

Highlight selected text quickly on any page without asking for broad site permissions. Click the toolbar button, pick a color, then apply the highlight to your current selection; highlights can be removed. The extension injects a small content script only when needed, stores your preferred color, and uses only the activeTab and storage permissions to minimize risk and avoid always-on access. The user interface is simple and accessible: a compact popup for fast actions and an options page for saving a default color.

Is Selection Highlighter 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.

Selection Highlighter 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.

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