Doesn't work!! Should allow zero stars!!
by Fr*****, 2024-03-15
Здравствуйте! Спасибо Вам за полезное расширение! Обновил Windows и расширение перестало работать. Windows 10 Pro для рабочих станций Версия 22H2 Сборка ОС 19045.3516 Кстати, в этой версии теперь невозможно запустить IE через стандартный ярлык. Только через ярлык со значением C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe javascript:open();close() в поле "Объект". Если Вы не собираетесь более обновлять это расширение, не могли бы Вы подсказать аналогичное?

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.

IE View WE requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

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

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
  • Medium **** ********* *** *** **** *******
  • Low **** ********* *** ******* **** **** * ****** **** ***** ******** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
