In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests host permissions for twitter.com and x.com, allowing it to read and modify content on those specific websites. That level of access is required to alter the page layout and remove the “For You” tab, making it a typical scope for a focused UI tweak in this category.
Extensions that modify a single social media site can see everything you view on that domain while browsing. A careful user should know that even a simple helper could potentially collect data or change page behavior beyond its stated goal, if the developer’s intentions or code were to change. It is always wise to check the publisher’s privacy policy and trustworthiness before giving such access.
The fact sheet shows Maintenance & Ownership as the strongest dimension, suggesting the extension is actively maintained and its attribution is clear. In contrast, Data & Privacy is the weakest area, which indicates limited transparency about how user data is handled. A privacy-conscious user would likely want to verify that no unnecessary information is collected or shared.
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.
