User reviews

Torrent Control is praised for its effective magnet link redirection, custom URL matching, and as a strong alternative to similar extensions. However, users commonly report problems with authentication on qbittorrent when HTTPS is enabled, limited compatibility with the latest Flood version, occasional 401 errors, and issues with torrent additions being skipped if actions are performed too rapidly.

Pros

Works well after setup for many users
Effectively redirects magnet links to torrent clients
Custom URL matching feature works properly
Better alternative to Remote Torrent Adder for Firefox users
Useful and complete add-on with good functionality

Cons

Issues with authentication when using qbittorrent web UI with HTTPS enabled
Does not work with the latest version of Flood torrent client
Can be slow and skip torrents if adding too quickly, causing missed additions
Some users experience 401 errors despite successful setup

Extension safety

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.

Torrent Control requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Torrent Control is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
