This is a great idea for an extension, but unfortunately it just doesn't work.

by Fi*****, 2025-07-02

It's so user unfriendly and anti-Wikidata tool that it adds all sorts of unwanted gibberish in the form of aliases like this one wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q2013&diff=prev&oldid=2337369192 that shouldn't be added at all. The fact that all these options are enabled by default is just so annoying... It should be disabled and made optional as soon as possible! smh

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.

Wikidata requires a lot of sensitive permissions. 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Wikidata may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
