User reviews

Wallabagger is praised for enabling self-hosted Wallabag use and having a simple, effective interface for saving articles. Users appreciate its ability to save content behind login walls and the ease of use after setup. However, multiple reviews note setup difficulties, issues with URL verification, and errors during use. Some experience slow saving processes and lack of support on Firefox Android. Overall, it is a valuable tool for Wallabag users but could improve reliability and mobile support.

Pros

Easy to use once initial setup is complete, with a user-friendly interface.
Can save pages with optional tagging, including content behind login walls.
Works well with self-hosted Wallabag instances, enabling seamless article saving.
Setup instructions are generally sufficient and setup is quick for many users.

Cons

Setup can be tricky or clunky, especially the initial configuration and API token use.
Addon sometimes fails to verify or check the Wallabag URL properly, leading to setup issues.
Reports of errors like "api.GetTags().then is not a function" when using the toolbar button.
Does not work or is unavailable on newer versions of Firefox for Android.
Page saving can be slow or take a long time to complete.

Excellent so far - setup was a bit tricky but I understand why.

Sorry, doch solange immer sofort gespeichert wird, nicht mehr als 3 Sterne. Das muss für mich entweder optional sein oder es wird immer nur nach aktiven klick (nicht nur das icon) gespeichert. Alles andere führt gelegentlich numal dazu, das man seine gespeicherten Seiten zumülltm, weil man aktive löschen und nicht aktiv speichern muss!

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.

Wallabagger requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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.
