Features & Capabilities

VisBug is an open source browser extension that brings powerful design debugging tools directly to your browser. Think of it as FireBug but crafted specifically for designers. With VisBug, you can point, click, and tinker with any webpage, editing text, replacing images, and adjusting styles in real-time — just like working on an artboard. It empowers designers to inspect spacing, alignment, accessibility, and layout across different device sizes and states.

Designed for creative professionals who want greater control without relying on developers, VisBug lets you manipulate the final rendered state regardless of the underlying framework. By integrating design tool interactions and hotkeys right in the browser, it facilitates rapid prototyping, nitpicking design details, and making front-end decisions with confidence. Whether working on production sites or prototypes, VisBug transforms the chaos into design opportunities, making it an essential tool for responsive, accessible, and dynamic web projects.

Is VisBug 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.

VisBug 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.

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