Features & Capabilities

Strip Special Characters is a lightweight Firefox extension that adds a “Strip special characters” item to the context-menu of any editable field (input, textarea or content-editable).

Key features:

Whitelist-mode: remove all non-alphanumeric chars except those you explicitly allow.
Blacklist-mode: strip only the characters you specify; everything else stays intact.
Dirty-state feedback: the Save button in Options stays disabled until you edit something, then becomes Save Changes in green.
Keyboard shortcut: default Ctrl + Shift + Y (⌘ + Shift + Y on macOS), rebindable via about:addons → Manage Extension Shortcuts.
No data leaves your browser. All processing and settings storage is 100% local.

Is Strip Special Characters 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.

Strip Special Characters does not require any sensitive permissions.

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.

Strip Special Characters is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
