User reviews

Users appreciate the Vue.js devtools for being an excellent and helpful extension that aids in development and debugging. However, multiple users report usability issues with the interface expanding everything by default, leading to cluttered and unreadable views that require manual collapsing. There are also problems with the devtools panel not always showing up reliably, and some performance issues like spinning wheels during event tracking, which impact workflow and user experience.

Pros

Excellent addon for Vue.js development.
Works well and is helpful for visualizing and modifying module values.
Provides useful features for tracking events and debugging in Vue.js applications.

Cons

The devtools expand all options by default, making the interface unreadable and forcing users to collapse sections manually.
Inconsistent or unreliable display of the devtools panel, sometimes not showing despite Vue detection.
Issues with performance, such as hanging or spinning wheels when tracking events in the timeline.

Extension safety

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.

Vue.js devtools requires a few sensitive permissions. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
