User Reviews

UncommonSight reminds me the old and alas since a long time deprecated addon name "Hide In Plain Sight" (always on AMO). The steganographic ideas seem very close. So UncommonSight seems promising, but I was unable to find an appropriate text file in order to feed it: the icon has remained stubbornly red. Moreover, Windows support would be welcome.

Is UncommonSight 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.

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