Features & Capabilities

Widescreen Browsing is a handy Chrome extension designed to improve your widescreen internet experience by limiting the width of webpages. Many websites, like Wikipedia, stretch their content across wide screens, which can reduce readability. With this tool, you can set a preferred width for each domain, ensuring content remains comfortably readable without spanning the entire screen.

The extension is open-source, encouraging community collaboration and improvements. While still under development and not fully compatible with all websites, users can report issues or contribute at the GitHub repository. Widescreen Browsing offers a simple yet effective solution for users looking to customize how web content appears on widescreens, making browsing more enjoyable and less strainful on the eyes.

This is really nice, it works well and it doesn't make my PC's fan sound like jet plane taking off, so that means it's likely safe.

Thank you :-) It would be nice to be able to: 1. Set / toggle it for ALL websites 2. Toggle it on/off with a keyboard shortcut

Is Widescreen Browsing 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.

Widescreen Browsing 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.

Widescreen Browsing has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
