In-depth safety analysis
This extension can read and alter data on any website you visit, as well as manage your browser tabs and cookies. For a tool that automates browser tasks, these permissions are necessary to interact with web pages and maintain sessions. However, the scope is extensive, granting the extension deep access to all your online activity. A user should verify that an automation tool's access level matches the specific tasks they intend to perform.
Apps in the browser automation category often run custom scripts that can see everything a user types or views on a website. A careful user should only install such tools from developers whose identity and track record they have confirmed independently. Since scripts can be modified remotely, it's wise to review the automation code and monitor for unexpected behaviors, even after a clean initial setup.
Looking at the provided fact sheet, the extension's strongest safety dimension is its developer-declared privacy practices. The publisher states that data is not sold and is not used for unrelated purposes, although the collection of personally identifiable information, location, and user activity is acknowledged. The weakest dimension is maintenance and ownership, which scored low and may signal difficulty in confirming the publisher's long-term reliability or support practices.
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.
