Is Copy Me That Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

The extension requests activeTab, contextMenus, and scripting permissions, along with host access limited to its own domains (button.copymethat.com and www.copymethat.com). This means it can read and modify the current page’s content only when you click its toolbar icon or use its right‑click menu, and it can communicate with its own servers to save or retrieve data. For a tool designed to copy recipes and other web content into a personal account, this permission scope is typical and reasonably narrow.

As with any browser extension that captures page content, a careful user should be aware that activating it on sensitive pages (such as banking or email) could inadvertently expose that information to the service. The developer’s privacy disclosure states that the extension collects website content and location data, and that this data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes. Users should review the privacy policy and consider whether they are comfortable with the data handling practices before using the extension on pages containing private information.

The fact sheet shows a strong Maintenance & Ownership score (100%), reflecting recent updates and active development, which is a positive sign for ongoing security and compatibility. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity (60%), suggesting limited publicly available information about the developer. This does not indicate any wrongdoing, but it may mean users have less background to evaluate the publisher’s reputation. Checking user reviews and verifying the extension’s listing authenticity can help mitigate this uncertainty.
