Manage Add-on Permissions 

Add-ons are small pieces of software designed to expand the functionality of Ice Dragon. Add-ons are broadly classified as:

• Extensions - Add new features to the browser. Examples include extensions to auto-update Facebook profiles, analyze your typing skills, detect website trackers, compare prices from different e-merchants and more.

• Appearance – Customize how the browser should appear by applying themes and styles.

• Plugins - Support different kinds of file types from the internet. For example, to open .pdf files, play video and audio files, play online games and so on.

See 'Introduction To Add-ons' for more details.

While most add-ons are safe, some may be harmful, injecting rootkits, key-loggers and other malware.

Ice Dragon lets you choose the level of permission that websites have to install add-ons:
