Is AutoFill Forms Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests permissions that are typical for a form-filling tool. The scripting and activeTab permissions allow it to inject code into the current webpage to read and fill form fields, while storage lets it save your form data locally. The notifications and contextMenus permissions enable it to show alerts and add right-click menu options, which are common for quick-access features in this category.

For any productivity extension that handles personal data like addresses or payment details, a careful user should understand that the filled information is processed by the extension. The developer's privacy declaration states it collects location data, which is somewhat more sensitive than what a basic form filler typically requires. Users should be mindful of where their data is stored and whether it is transmitted anywhere, especially since the publisher's identity and maintenance track record scored lower in the assessment.

The strongest safety dimension for this extension is its permissions access model, which scored highly and suggests the requested capabilities are reasonably scoped for its function. However, the weakest dimension is publisher and identity, reflecting limited public information about the developer behind the account. Combined with a moderate community reputation score, this indicates users have reported some reliability concerns, so it is wise to verify that the extension functions correctly before trusting it with sensitive form entries.
