WikiMapper Firefox

WikiMapper

WikiMapper - Track and graph your adventures down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Features & Capabilities

WikiMapper creates a historical tree of your Wikipedia browsing so that you can see just exactly how you spontaneously wasted 45 minutes and ended up reading about the history of Agriculture in Uzbekistan.

Once installed, you do not have to do anything special to use WikiMapper. It runs passively in the background and only on the wikipedia.org/wiktionary.org domains. It stores your Wikipedia browsing sessions locally so you can view them later at any time by clicking in the WikiMapper icon in your browser toolbar.

WikiMapper is free and open source software and does not collect any personal information, serve any ads, or transmit any data of any kind to anyone.

Is WikiMapper 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.

WikiMapper requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Allows retrieval of a user’s browsing history, presenting a notable privacy risk.
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.

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