User Reviews
Users like Web Paint as a simple, effective on‑page annotation tool (popular for teaching). Repeated complaints are that it’s outdated, suffers from lag/jank and occasional crashes, has tablet/pen alignment problems, and lacks keyboard shortcuts. Overall useful but in need of updates and bug fixes. Pros
- Useful and effective for on‑page drawing/annotation—many users praise it for lectures and quick highlights.
- Simple and easy to use—several reviewers call it a great or best add‑on for this purpose.
- Drawings generally persist relative to the page (stay in place while interacting/scrolling), which users appreciate.
Cons
- Outdated / unmaintained — multiple reviewers say it needs an update (last update years ago).
- Performance issues: laggy, janky rendering and occasional crashes reported by several users.
- Tablet/pen problems: Wacom/tablet compatibility and pen‑to‑ink misalignment reported in multiple reviews.
- Missing convenient keyboard shortcuts (users request accelerators to hide/clear ink).

Is Web Paint 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 Paint 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.
Web Paint has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
