User Reviews

Users appreciate that the Telephone Number Detection add-on allows clickable phone numbers and works smoothly with default dial applications. However, multiple reviews highlight limitations in recognizing varied phone number formats and poor compatibility with some native phone link handlers, limiting its overall effectiveness. Improvement in number format detection and better system integration are commonly requested.
Pros
  • Allows direct clicking on phone numbers detected on web pages.
  • Works well and integrates with system default dial apps on various OS like macOS.
  • Generally well received with positive user feedback and high ratings.
Cons
  • Does not detect certain popular phone number formats, such as those using dots (e.g., 123.456.7890).
  • Number recognition needs improvement, especially for numbers with specific lengths and country codes (e.g., +49, +41).
  • Does not integrate properly with some native phone link applications, such as Microsoft's Phone Link, and lacks option to set system default apps for tel: links.

Doesn't seem to play well with the native Microsoft Phone Link. It doesn't allow declaration of Phone Link as the default app for handling the tel: link nor does it allow you to use the system default app.

Is Telephone Number Detection 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.

Telephone Number Detection requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
