User reviews

Users appreciate Web Scrobbler for its simplicity, wide compatibility with music streaming sites, and effective track recognition. However, multiple reviews mention issues with inaccurate artist recognition on YouTube, lack of a pause button for scrobbling control, and the need for frequent confirmations for the same videos. Some users experience scrobbling malfunctions requiring updates, and difficulty restricting scrobbles to music-only content. Overall, it remains highly valued but has recurring flaws especially related to YouTube integration and user control options.

Works with many music streaming websites
Straightforward interface with editing options

Cons

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.

Web Scrobbler 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.

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 Scrobbler is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
