User Reviews

Virtually a must-have due to Mozilla's stupidity, thinking a combined stop and reload button is a Good Thing(tm). You want to stop a page from loading because it's taking too long. Your brain has committed to clicking stop/reload, and your pointer is poised over the button. As your finger is flexing, the page finishes loading, the widget changes to "reload", and gets clicked. Now you have to wait AGAIN. This widget makes so much more sense, it means ONE thing: stop, not MAYBE stop, MAYBE reload as Mozilla envisions it.

Is Stop button 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.

Stop button requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
