In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests scripting permissions on only one domain: *.crunchyroll.com. The other requested capabilities (context menus, notifications, storage, and tabs) are common for a tool that needs to modify webpage behavior and save user settings. For a general browser extension labeled as a profanity filter, such narrowly scoped host access is unusual—a typical filter would need permission to run on all or many websites. This means the extension as requested can only alter or read content on Crunchyroll pages, which may not match user expectations.
Content filtering tools in general often require broad host permissions to scan and rewrite text. A careful user should always verify that the host access matches the intended use, and be cautious if an extension requests access to every site when a more limited scope could work. Declared privacy practices (data not sold, not used for unrelated purposes) are positive, but they are self-reported and should be weighed alongside other signals.
The fact sheet’s safety dimensions show a strong Maintenance & Ownership score (100%), indicating the extension is actively updated and its publisher has stable control. The weakest area is Publisher & Identity (60%), meaning the developer’s public transparency or established reputation is limited. This is worth considering, though the overall community rating of 4.4 out of 5 and a grade‑A safety score suggest a generally trustworthy item.
