User Reviews

Viewhance is praised for enhancing image viewing and ease of access through shortcuts, leading some users to switch back to Firefox. However, the archived Github repo limits support, and some functions need a browser restart to work effectively. Chrome users miss its availability.
Pros
  • Provides an enhanced image viewing experience.
  • Supports quick image opening via right-click or shortcuts.
  • Users switched to Firefox specifically to use this add-on.
Cons
  • Github repository is archived, preventing issue reporting.
  • Some features require browser restart to function properly.
  • Not available for Chrome users, causing disappointment.

I hope someday someone will make a updated version of this addon, like they did with imagus reborn. This addon is starting to show some cracks, like sometimes multiple videos being loaded can cause the addon to not load a video correctly. disable and re-enable fixes it though. I mainly like this addon for the scroll wheel zoom. If someone wants to throw me their addon for testing, I'd love to see it!

Is Viewhance 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.

Viewhance 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.

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