User reviews

Users find this Firefox add-on simple, handy, and effective for metric and decimal imperial conversions, with a thorough interface suitable for basic daily needs. However, many criticize its lack of context menu integration and inability to detect selected numbers, which hampers usability. The biggest complaint concerns imperial length conversions, as it provides decimal rather than the more practical feet/inches format. Additionally, some users report antivirus warnings and compatibility issues with recent Firefox updates, limiting its usability for some.

Pros

Very complete for common metric conversions and useful for very large or very small unit conversions.
Simple and handy user interface, easy to use daily.
Thorough unit conversion between metric and imperial units for decimal values.
Works well for basic unit conversions as expected.
Found quickly once located among many similar add-ons.

Cons

Lacks context menu integration and automatic unit or selected number detection, reducing ergonomics.
Imperial length conversions are presented only in decimal form, lacking feet/inches format which is inconvenient for users.
Reported as unsafe by some antivirus (Avast), causing concern and removal.
Incompatibility with newer Firefox extension standards prevents installation on updated browsers.

Useless, no context menu, no unit detection, even no selected number detection... It's basically a separate app in your browser with very poor ergonomics

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.

Unit Converter does not require any sensitive permissions.

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.

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