- Generally well built and helpful, with a positive impact when it works.
Cons
- Breaks site functionality on some pages, notably Bootstrap dropdowns and related interactive elements.

Recent reviews
I was running v5.0.3 on Firefox 150.0.1. OS Windows 11 (latest).
My system would freeze for a few minutes and work for a about one minute.
Disabling the extension did not change the freezing. Once removed from Firefox, the system was normal. No reboots done.

Is VT4Browsers + Google TI 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.
VT4Browsers + Google TI requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.
