User Reviews

Share Backported is a versatile and configurable Firefox add-on that facilitates sharing links easily through many platforms including Gmail, Mastodon, and WhatsApp. Users appreciate its reliability, lack of ads, and active developer support. However, some dislike recent changes that added extra steps to sharing and desire support for platforms like WhatsApp Web and Wordpress. The sharing popup window size and minor bugs, such as URL encoding issues and interference from other extensions, were also noted. Overall, it remains a valuable tool despite these concerns.

Pros

Allows one-click sharing via Gmail and other services with customizable settings.
Supports various sharing platforms including Mastodon, Shaarli, and WhatsApp.
Highly configurable with options to add custom links to unknown sites.
Developer is responsive and maintains the add-on well, keeping it compatible with Firefox updates.
No advertisements and generally stable through Firefox updates.

Cons

Sharing format changes led to more steps for some users compared to previous versions.
Lack of direct support for sharing to platforms like WhatsApp Web, Facebook Messenger, and Wordpress.
Popup window for sharing is too small, making it hard to preview content before sharing.
Some buggy integrations, such as WhatsApp sharing, and interference from other extensions.
Encoding issue where percent characters in URLs convert to '%25'.

Why did they change the format of sharing with friends, etc... loved that... not impressed with new format and have to do 2 steps to do what I did before in just one and that's why you got 4 stars and not 5 :(

Is Share Backported 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.

Share Backported 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.
