Local Media Player lets you seamlessly play a wide range of media file formats such as MP4, MKV, WEBM, OGG, MP3, and H.264 directly within your browser, eliminating the need for third-party applications like VLC or Windows Media Player. This lightweight extension is perfect for devices with limited storage or processing power.

Please note that some formats like AVI are not supported; you can easily convert unsupported files using free online or offline converters. Additionally, installing the extension changes your default search engine in the omnibox to a custom search powered by Bing, which you can revert anytime via Chrome settings.

This is simply a link to a webpage filled with ads and it does NOT play .mkv files. This should be removed.

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.

Local Media Player requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Can change search providers, which could redirect searches to malicious sites, posing moderate 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 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.

Local Media Player has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
