User Reviews

Users face major issues with the Skype Web Messenger add-on, primarily its lack of Firefox support and requirement for Edge browser, making it unusable on many Linux desktops. Many cannot sign in or make calls using the add-on, as call feature icons remain inactive. While some appreciate it as an alternative for unsupported systems like Ubuntu 32-bit, overall functionality and browser compatibility problems greatly limit its usefulness. Privacy concerns regarding Microsoft's involvement further deter some users.

Pros

Provides an alternative to Skype client, useful for systems like Ubuntu 32-bit where latest Skype versions are incompatible

Cons

Does not support Firefox browser, requiring Edge or other browsers not suitable for some users (e.g., Linux desktop)
Unable to sign in to Skype via the add-on
Call icons (phone and video) are inactive, preventing calls
Perception of being tied to Microsoft causing privacy concerns

Is Skype Web Messenger 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.

Skype Web Messenger 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.

Skype Web Messenger has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
