User Reviews
Overall, reviews show both decent performance and serious consent/privacy concerns. Positives: it can run reliably on Debian and may work well once conflicts with older extensions are removed. Main complaints: it often installs without user consent, marks the browser as managed, and is hard or impossible to remove; users also report data collection during authentication (certificate and site URL) without permission, and persistent reinstalls. Across reviews, the top issues are installation without consent, privacy concerns, and hard-to-remove persistence, while Linux reliability is seen as a benefit when configured properly. Pros
- Great extension; long-term trouble-free use on Debian.
- Works on Debian for years even though Ubuntu support is advertised.
- Works well after removing conflicting old Token signing extension.
Cons
- Installs without user consent and marks the browser as being managed; difficult or impossible to remove.
- Transmits the user's certificate and the website origin to the e-service during authentication without permission.
- Persists across restarts and reinstall attempts; difficult to remove once installed.

Lisamoodul tekitab hirmu, tänu sellele tuleb mulle brauseri seadetes "Teie brauserit haldab Teie organisatsioon Riigi Infosüsteemi Amet" ning brauseri seadete muutmiseks pean taotlema sättete muudatusi. No see on ilmselgelt siililegi selge, et see on absurdne. Kahjuks meie "digiriigis" ei ole võimalik ilma selle pluginata mitte ühtegi toimingut läbi viia. Iga väiksema Firefoxi uuendusega läheb lisamoodul paanikasse ja ei tööta enam.
Arvestades, et tegu on Riigi Infosüsteemi Ameti mooduliga on see neil väga ebaporfesionaalselt tehtud ning sellega nad pigem külmavad hirmu, kuna ühtegi brauseri muudatust ei saa teha ilma, et RIA sellest teada saaks. Milline diktatuurne rakendus. Moodulit ei saa ka brauserist eemaldada, sest taaskord "Teie brauserit haldab Teie organisatsioon Riigi Infosüsteemi Amet". Kui vähegi võimalust, ärge jumal eest seda moodulit lubage oma Firefoxi installida.

Is Web eID 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.
Web eID requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
- High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
- Medium *********** ************* ******* ********** *** ****** ************* ******* *** **** ** ******* **********
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.
Web eID has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
