In-depth safety analysis

This extension requests access to a limited set of game-related websites, including AdventureQuest Worlds pages, account portals, and image hosts. Combined with storage and context menu permissions, it can read and modify content on those specific sites, store data locally, and add right-click options. For a game companion tool, this scope is fairly typical—it allows overlaying information or automating small tasks without broad access to all websites.

General browser extensions that interact with account-related pages (like account.aq.com) can potentially observe or alter login fields, so users should only install such tools from publishers they fully trust. The developer states the extension collects location data, which may be used for personalization but is worth noting if you prefer to limit sharing. With a small user base and low community reputation, there is little public feedback to verify its safety record, which is common for niche utilities but means you should double-check that this is the official or widely recommended version.

The strongest dimension in the assessment is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively updated and its publisher is clearly identified. The weakest is Community Reputation, reflecting the lack of reviews or widespread recognition. While the technical permission set is well-scoped and the privacy declarations are positive, the limited community signal means a cautious user might wait for more feedback or confirm the extension’s legitimacy through official game channels.

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.

Who's Behind AQW Lodestar?

  • Publisher aqw.app

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.
