User Reviews

Criminally underrated add-on with great potential, simply the best in its niche with no real replacements. For example, one fun use I found with it is bypassing "Netflix household" IP checks (the red blocking screen). The rule I set up works something like this: "if POST request with URL web.prod.cloud.netflix.com/graphql contains in its body CLCSInterstitialLolomo + resolutionMode OR contains CLCSInterstitialPlaybackAndPostPlayback, then BLOCK it".

Is WebRequest Rules 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.

WebRequest Rules 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.
