User Reviews

Pros

Useful tool for Japanese language learners
Excellent for making Anki cards
Offers a great browsing experience with a good range of features

Cons

The version on the Firefox store is out of date
Issue with audio clip which says 'The audio for this clip is not available. Thank you for your patience' every time a word doesn't have audio
The Add-on triggers randomly on non-Japanese words

Recent reviews

I love this addon, and want to give it 5 stars after using it for 5 years now, but can't because of an issue described in the quoted review below. THE AUDIO FOR THIS CLIP thing is haunting my dreams, sometimes yomichan triggers randomly on non-japanese words and before it would be fine but now I (and whoever I'm talking with on discord/messenger/...) has to listen to this horrible thing. Please give us an option to have revert to the clicking sound, have custom audio for that, or mute that PLEASE. > It used to make a click sound when it failed to get audio for a word (which is fine) but now instead there is a LONG audio of someone saying "The audio for this clip is not available. Thank you for your patience". It is so ANNOYING to have to hear that every time I hover over a word and there isn't an audio for it. Please change it back, remove it or give the option to put my own sound

Is Yomichan 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.

Yomichan 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.

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