I had to reinstall this to leave a review. This extension, for some reason, every time i search anything on google redirects the search to yahoo and its really annoying. Don't install this if you care about actually using your web browser.
This extension appears to be malicious. Just try doing a google search with it enabled, then turn it off and do another search and notice how much quicker the results appear. I'm pretty sure it's scraping all the results and "phoning home" to sell your info.
virus
This is trash
it is not working properly
this aap doesnt work
im instaling extensions and still not working
Injects malicious search results a the top of google search results
After installing this plugin, I noticed that my browser constantly refreshes a certain website, and it only returns to normal until I stop using the plugin.
Hello There, I would like to report this browser extension that appears to pose a serious security and privacy risk. The extension is requesting the following permissions: Ability to read and change all data on all websites Ability to display notifications Granting these permissions would allow the extension to: Access sensitive information such as browsing history, login credentials, cookies, and payment details entered on websites. Modify or inject content into web pages, potentially enabling phishing, ad injection, or malicious redirection. Push unwanted or misleading notifications to the user. This level of access is far beyond what is necessary for normal functionality and could expose users to data theft or manipulation. The extension does not appear to come from a trusted source, and its behavior raises concerns about user safety. I recommend that Microsoft investigate this extension, review its compliance with Edge Add-ons policies, and take appropriate action to protect users. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards,
FileCR Assistant requests very broad permissions, including access to http://*/* (all HTTP sites) plus browser notifications. This is a red flag because it can potentially allow an extension to read and modify what you see on many websites, which security guidance often flags as “excessive permissions” when not strictly necessary for the feature set. With wide site access, a compromised or abused extension could potentially observe browsing activity or interact with pages in risky ways, which is why extension security research consistently warns about over-privileged extensions. Also, FileCR is widely associated with pirated/cracked software distribution, which increases the overall risk profile (even if the extension itself appears to work as intended). Bottom line: I’d avoid installing it on a primary browser/profile. If someone insists on using it, it’s safer to isolate it (separate profile/VM) and avoid logging into important accounts while it’s enabled
trash extremly slow compared to torrent
I have already installed the extension. The pop-up is still appearing for install extension.
We should not need to allow access to ALL SITES!! edit settings and allow https://filecr.com/ ONLY.
don't know why filecr forced me to install it
I installed it in both Edge and Chrome and it keeps stressing me out with its installation. I'm going to uninstall it because it's the same thing.
no working
All this does is spam your google homepage with rubbish links. It ruins google search.
Not working
fix your auto redirect to your plugin, to install, even though I already installed it,
An extension from a pirate website that can read and change your data...
Quite literally does nothing.
Already added to Chrome. But cannot download Snagit...
File Cr extension not working
Not working at all, It is showing notification to install the extension eventhough I already have installed. I wrote this problem to the developer but they are not responding
BEWARE it changes google search results to some weird websites
Be aware: This extension manipulates Google search results by adding five ad links to the top of the page. This deceptive practice pushes the real search results down, degrading the browsing experience. It's a shameful way to monetize a product.
This extension isn’t safe. It modifies your search results on Google and other websites and injects its own ads. If it were safe, the code would be open source, but it’s not. It likely does more with your personal data than it admits, so install it at your own risk.
When the extension is downloaded, the FileCR website still fails to recognize it, even after clearing cookies and reinstalling. This issue has been ongoing for a while, and FileCR has yet to resolve it.
not worrking as shown in file cr website
This extension is just a trash, frustrating, its not just useful install but not recognize by google
This extension is TRASH!! I would not be surprised if it steals your info like passwords, and comes up being a virus. Do NOT INSTALL !!
Does not install in Chrome. It's there but Chrome does not recognize it.
Does not work even after adding to chrome
A pirated software website named "FileCr" are forcing their users to install this extension on their web browsers to download files. People are downloading this extension without knowing the power and access this extension will have over their browser. I'm asking Google to take down this extension. Big Big security risk.
not working, i installed and it still says that add extension to chrome
Why it indirects to a new tab to install another extension? whats the motive here?
not dectiting that i download the this extension on pc
It doesn't work. After installing the extension it is not detected by the website and keeps asking me to install it.
cant find anything harmful
Why asking permission to read and write all websites data. Why? seems like phishing and hacking trick. google please remove this extension from webstore.
This doesn't help with downloading from that particular site. If that's why you came to download this extension, don't waste your time.
It does NOTHING, except asks to upload file, very suspicious extension for its meaninglessness.
It never helps to download.. It's so bad.. The worst thing I've seen in my life
Doesn't work for me, absolute garbage, do not install!
worst Extention Experience ever , I've Already installed it on chrome browser. But it always shows popup installation window
asking permission to read and write all websites data. Why? seems like phishing and hacking trick.
