User Reviews

Users widely praise Tabby Cat for its adorable visuals and the cheerful mood it creates when opening a new tab. The customization options to dress up the cat and the purring on hover are popular, contributing to a fun, satisfying experience. However, several reviewers note the Firefox version lacks the animal variety seen in the Chrome version and want more pets (e.g., foxes). Overall, it’s a delightful extension that would improve with expanded animal options and parity with Chrome's animal lineup.

Pros

Extremely cute visuals that brighten a new tab.
Brings joy and a pleasant mood every time you open a tab.
Customization through dressing up the cat with items.
Purring on hover is a charming, fun feature.

Cons

Limited animal options; missing Chrome-exclusive animals (users want more variety like foxes).

Recent reviews

Really good extension, cute as hell and makes my mood better every time! Though sadly I have to uninstall since it is terrible for my ADHD, I keep forgetting what I'm doing because I keep petting the kitty.

Is Tabby Cat 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.

Tabby Cat requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

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.

Tabby Cat has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
