User reviews

Users find wxIF functional for viewing EXIF data in Firefox, providing a clean interface and basic capabilities. However, multiple reviews note the UI is minimal, it lacks lens information, and does not support UTF-8 or advanced encodings well. Some report errors parsing XMP metadata and missing useful details for images without EXIF. Overall, it's a usable EXIF viewer but with limitations compared to alternatives like FxIF.

Pros

Supports viewing EXIF data from JPG images
Works on recent versions of Firefox
Provides a clean and neat window for displaying data
Functionally sufficient as an EXIF data viewer

Cons

Does not display lens information, a common EXIF attribute
Has a mediocre or minimal user interface with limited controls
Fails to handle UTF-8 or encodings beyond ASCII/Latin-1
Sometimes shows errors parsing XMP data and incomplete metadata display
Lacks configuration options and additional info for images without EXIF data

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.

wxIF 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.

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