In-depth safety analysis

This extension requests broad host permissions (), meaning it can read and modify content on every website you visit. Combined with the "scripting" permission, it can inject JavaScript into any page. For a tool designed to override copy restrictions, this level of access is expected—it needs to manipulate page elements and clipboard events to function. However, it also means the extension could technically access sensitive data displayed on any page, so a careful user should only install it from a trusted source.

General browser extensions with such wide access are attractive targets for supply-chain attacks or updates that change behavior silently. Users should be aware that even a previously safe extension can become risky if the developer account is compromised. For this category, it is wise to periodically review permissions and check whether the extension's behavior remains consistent with its stated purpose.

In this case, the fact sheet shows strong signals for maintenance and community reputation, with a recent update and a large, positively-rated user base. The weakest dimension is publisher identity, which suggests limited publicly verifiable information about the developer. This does not indicate wrongdoing, but it is a reminder that trust relies more on ongoing behavior than on a well-known brand.

AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
