User Reviews

Since I have been using an active pen in Windows for 22 years, this extension looks like a Godsend! Unfortunately I cannot seem to get it to do what it's supposed to do. Basically, while the mouse draws fine, the stylus, like the finger, scrolls the page while drawing, which conflicts. Might have to do with FF gestures settings. Also, it seems that the required permission needs to be given once at a time, at least that's what the FF extension button displays. Lastly, pinning the icon doesn't seem to serve a purpose; could it act as a toggle? ctrl-x is fine but you need a keyboard... The stylus is my keyboard. I mapped a mouse button to the shortcut. In any case, I want to encourage the author with this fascinating project. Cheers.

Is Stylus Paper 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.

Stylus Paper 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.
