User Reviews

This extension is great and has unique capabilities to automatically open a specific URL on click, I'd love to request a feature though. Can there be a capability to change the extension icon? e.g. I use this to open proton mail in sidebar on click, I would just change the icon to the proton mail icon. Also if we could change the sidebar header text that'd be amazing e.g. I would just make it say Proton mail rather than Universal sidebar

Doing what Mozilla still hasn't delivered yet: pin websites to the sidebar. Perfect.

Great extension! I’d love to see the option to change the icon of the extension in the sidebar. The puzzle piece icon isn’t that great and might be intuitively confused with the list of extensions. Yes, I understand this request might seem a bit bold, but I really enjoy using this extension and would be glad if it were possible to change the icon — for example, by uploading a photo from my PC and so on.

Is Universal Sidebar 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.

Universal Sidebar 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 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.

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