Summary

Disclaimer: this has been done for my own use, feel free to use it and submit
changes, but I probably won't spend a lot of time maintaining it.

This is a tiny web extension which does two things:

- It allows you to convert your shazam tags into mp3 files;
- It allows you to download any Youtube page as an mp3 file.

Requirements

First, this extension requires some steps before working properly.

It requires that you install the python application locally, and that
you install the "youtube-dl" package.

Safety

Risk impact

Web2mp3 requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Web2mp3 if you trust the publisher.

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, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Web2mp3 has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

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, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
