Great Idea! Can still use some polishing, though. Feature requests: * Higher resolution icon * Customizable languages for Wikipedia with multiple icons * Icons not always visible - only on mouse hover or while pressing [Alt] * Open page scrolled down a little, so the first sentence of the text is at the very top (skipping title and all the Wikipedia infoblocks)

Is Wikipedia Anywhere 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.

Wikipedia Anywhere 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.

Wikipedia Anywhere has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
