Features & Capabilities

Transparent Zen makes websites transparent by applying simple, customizable styles that blend with the browser UI. The goal is to be as easy as possible for everyone to enable transparency, with a dynamic transparency feature added in version 0.2.0 that is still being refined.

The project provides Windows 11 and Linux setup instructions and prerequisites, detailing which settings to enable (such as browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser and related options) and optional components like MicaForEveryone. A growing list of supported sites demonstrates current capabilities while the feature evolves.

Works great, BUT whenever the bottom left rectangle link thing shows up when hovering a link, it messes up all transparent pixels that shares the same horizontal position. In other words there is a big opaque rectangle on the background whenever I hover a link.

Works as intended, BUT Twitter and Primal (Nostr app at primal.net) are broken, please fix. Twitter - the black highlights are remaining clicked despite not being clicked anymore - I'm talking about "Notifications", "Home", "Explore", etc. Primal fails with that extension to display properly icons in the white color and not black on the right sidebar of its website, as well as displaying correctly verified checkmarks such as yellow-colored ones. Please fix, thanks. Amazing extension.

Is Transparent Zen 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.

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

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.

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