Features & Capabilities

Weather Forecast is a simple Chrome extension that brings the official Weather Underground forecast directly to your browser toolbar. Instead of opening a new tab, it loads the weather panel right within the toolbar, providing quick access to current and extended weather conditions.

The extension displays the current weather as badge text on its toolbar button, giving instant updates at a glance. For more detailed weather information, users can hover over or click the button to reveal a comprehensive weather panel. It’s an efficient and user-friendly way to stay informed about your local weather without interrupting your browsing experience.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's ability to select local weather stations and receive detailed, regularly updated weather information directly from their Firefox toolbar. However, multiple users report issues such as inaccurate temperature readings, problems customizing favorite locations, unreliable UV index data, login and content access difficulties, and intrusive advertisements that cannot be bypassed. While the interface and detailed info are positives, these recurring issues impact overall usability and reliability.

Pros

Ability to select a local neighborhood weather station for accurate weather reporting.
Displays current temperature and weather conditions in the Firefox toolbar icon.
Provides comprehensive information including dew point, pressure, radar, forecast, air quality, UV index, sun/moon info, and average/record temperatures via pop-up window.
Regularly updates the weather information.
Convenient user interface with hover features and clickable icon for detailed info.

Cons

Issues with logging into accounts and location restrictions leading to unavailable content.
Mismatch between icon badge temperature and panel temperature causing confusion.
Persistent default favorites and inability to customize locations properly.
Inaccurate or outdated UV Index information, which could be misleading and unsafe.
Presence of advertisements that cannot be opted out of or skipped, hindering user experience.

Is Weather Forecast 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.

Weather Forecast 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 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.

Weather Forecast may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
