User Reviews

Same as Virtpunk. This addon causes reddit to reload over and over when hovering over any link/url.

I've been using it for about three years now. Recently, I started experiencing glitches on Reddit, and I couldn't figure out why the page was constantly reloading. I disabled all scripts, then spent two days disabling 50 add-ons one by one, and finally, at the end of the list, I disabled this one, and miraculously, the glitches and reloading stopped. P.S. This is only on Reddit.

Is URL Tooltip WE 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.

URL Tooltip WE requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
