Wallpaper Tab Firefox

Wallpaper Tab

By: Peter
A "new tab" page that displays daily changing images from various sources as well as top sites.

Features & Capabilities

A "new tab" page that displays daily changing images from various sources as well as top sites.

Selectable sources: a folder on your hard drive, NASA APOD, Bing daily image, Wikimedia Commons Image of the day, The Met, Flickr Explore

Additionally, the tab can optionally display customizable top sites.

I made this extension because I explicitly wanted a changing background image for my new tabs WITHOUT any tracking involved. This thing is completely open source and NO DATA AT ALL is transmitted to me.

Contact me if you want other image sources added!

Is Wallpaper Tab 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.

Wallpaper Tab 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.

Wallpaper Tab is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
