In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests scripting and activeTab permissions, which allow it to inject code into web pages you are actively viewing in order to adjust audio playback. Storage permission lets it save your equalizer settings, while notifications and alarms support optional alerts or timed functions. For an audio equalizer, this set of capabilities is expected and reasonably scoped, as the tool must interact with page content to function.
As with any extension that can modify web pages, a user should ensure the publisher is trustworthy and that the permissions align with the tool’s purpose. The developer states that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, which is a positive privacy signal. However, general browser extensions can vary in quality; it is wise to check user reviews and be mindful that extensions from smaller or less verified publishers may carry more unknowns.
The fact sheet shows the extension’s strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating active upkeep and a stable ownership record, which reduces risks of abandonment. The weakest area is Publisher & Identity, meaning the company behind it is not highly established or transparently verified. A careful user would weigh this when deciding whether to install.
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.
