User Reviews

Hi, so it started out okay, the add-on installed easily enough, looked good, had a clean and simple interface, so it should work no prob, right? Not! I use the Windows' on-screen keyboard, but every time I activated the add-on's text box and then moved my mouse pointer to the keyboard, the keyboard would minimize. This is where this add-on becomes a useless rock, but I'm a minority in this, so I'll continue. (I am curious why you would take the focus off the text box whenever the mouse left the sidebar.) But even if I could use it with my on-screen keyboard, there is still, as far as I know, no exporting the notes or viewing/editing all of them together on a single page. Also, there is no context menu item to copy a page's selected text to the note: I couldn't even right-click and paste text into the box. Something has to be wrong with my system, bc why would someone disable pasting? There's no rtf that I know of, bc I wasn't going to suffer sitting up just to type on a physical keyboard, which I almost never ever use, to test an add-on already proven of no use to me. No saving by domain, and no way to know which sites had notes (or does the sidebar auto-open?). There are a lot of issues and missing, critical functionality with this add-on, I think, for me. Later on, I noticed the images of the add-on on Mozilla's site didn't match mine; maybe bc they were images of the add-on on a low-quality system. Creepy seeing that O/S considering... Perhaps it's a bad port, or perhaps the install didn't go normally. Or maybe my Win 10 unit has become so corrupted, testing dozens of apps, utilities, extensions, and a handful of browsers, that this add-on didn't have a chance to succeed. Cheers, r

Is Website SideNotes 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.

Website SideNotes requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
