Cool idea, why I have to be too patient with some ads. Let change their text to something I like or just funny :D. The idea could be expended but this is not a request (people can contribute PR's): like URL filter to apply it only for specific sites or generic logic condition, HTML replacement instead of text. Btw, it has recursive behavior with this example: url -> <span color="red">URL</span>.

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.

X to Y 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 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.

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