User reviews

TransOver is praised as a convenient, fast, and unobtrusive Firefox add-on that provides instant word translations on mouse hover or click, making it valuable for language learners. However, users report frequent issues with the Mouse FlyOver feature's reliability and occasional inaccurate translations. There is also a lack of Text To Speech support for non-English languages, and the add-on's language support details are not clearly stated. Additionally, it does not support translation within PDFs, limiting its utility in some contexts.

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.

TransOver requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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.

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