User Reviews

Sur https://duckduckgo.com/?q=firefox+simple+hinting&ia=web, j'ai entré Alt-Shift, dans cet ordre car l'autre ne fonctionne pas, puis 51v. Je m'attendais à voir l'URL mais https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-hinting/ s'est ouvert. Si depuis cette page, je fais 51f, la page en cours est réactualisée. J'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas un problème général avec tous les sites, car sur un autre il fonctionnait comme indiqué Je rajoute qu'il n'est pas toujours évident de savoir à quel lien correspond le numéro indiqué. Peut-être faudrait-il essayer de mettre un effet visuel sur le lien lui-même une fois le numéro saisi. Merci pour votre travail.

Is Simple Hinting 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.

Simple Hinting requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low Request access to the following domains: umaneti.net

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.

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