Is Autofill Smartly - JobFill Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

The extension requests broad permissions: "cookies" and host access to *://*/*. This allows it to read and modify data on any website, including reading and setting cookies. For an autofill tool, pervasive host access is typical to detect and populate forms across the web, but the cookie permission—which can manage session tokens—is an added layer of capability that goes beyond simple form-filling and warrants caution.

Autofill extensions, particularly those handling job applications, often process sensitive personal information like contact details and work history. In this category, a user should be aware that any extension with such wide access could potentially collect or redirect data. It is wise to verify the developer’s transparency, check their privacy policy, and consider how they make money, as less reputable tools might monetize data subtly.

According to the fact sheet, the Data & Privacy dimension is strong (100/100), reflecting developer declarations that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes. However, the Publisher & Identity dimension is the weakest (60/100), indicating limited verification of the developer’s background. While the privacy promises are clear, the lower identity score means a careful user might seek more established alternatives or additional research before trusting this extension with broad access to all visited websites and cookies.
