In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests the "bookmarks" permission, which allows it to read, modify, and organize all your bookmarks and bookmark folders. The "storage" permission lets it save settings or data locally, and "activeTab" can access the content of the currently active tab only when you invoke the extension. For a bookmark cleanup tool, this scope is expected, as it needs direct access to your bookmarks to find duplicates, empty folders, or broken links.
For any extension that can read and edit bookmarks, a careful user should be aware that bookmarks can reveal browsing interests and frequently visited sites. While this category of tool is generally safe, it's wise to review what changes an extension makes, especially if it offers to reorganize or delete many bookmarks at once. Always ensure you have a recent bookmark backup before running bulk cleanup operations.
Based on the fact sheet, the strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, scoring 100%, which suggests the extension is actively maintained and its ownership is well-established. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity at 60%, indicating less publicly available information about the developer "itwillnotbeasy." This doesn't imply anything malicious, but it means there is less transparency about who is behind the extension compared to more established publishers.
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.
