User Reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for its ability to translate individual words with examples and for maintaining original website layouts in translations. It's praised for being simple and fast. However, multiple reviewers criticize the bulky translation interface and the fact that translations open in new tabs instead of being smoothly integrated into the current page. Concerns about broad permission requests and limited functionality in translating entire pages were also noted.

Pros

Allows translation of specific words and viewing them used in sentences.
Maintains website layout when opening translated pages in a new tab.
Simple and fast to use.

Cons

Uses a large, clunky translation window instead of a lightweight pop-up.
Translations open in a new tab rather than embedding onto the original page with native formatting.
Requires broad permissions that may not be necessary for page translation.
Lacks functionality to translate entire pages easily, especially with 'select all' in context menus.

Is Web Translate 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 Translate requires a lot of 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.
Critical ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** *********** ********** ********* ********** ********** *********** *********
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

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