Is Currency Converter PRO Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

Currency Converter PRO requests only a narrow set of permissions: sidePanel for its user interface, storage to save preferences or cached exchange rates, alarms to schedule rate updates, and host access limited to https://cdn.moneyconvert.net/*. This is exactly what you would expect from a well‑designed currency converter. It does not ask for access to any page content or other sites, so it cannot read or modify your browsing activity on general web pages. The host permission is restricted to a single CDN for fetching rate data, which aligns closely with the extension’s stated purpose.

In the category of currency converters, a few general safety points are worth keeping in mind. Some converters request broad host permissions to inject affiliate links or alter prices on shopping sites. This extension avoids that entirely by scoping its host access to its own data source. Users should still verify that the exchange rates displayed come from a trusted provider, and be cautious if a converter tries to redirect you or change the appearance of financial pages. With this extension’s tight permission model, those typical risks are greatly reduced.

The extension’s maintenance track record is strong — it was recently updated and shows consistent ownership — which contributes to a perfect score in that dimension. The weakest area is publisher and identity transparency, where the score is lower, but that does not indicate any wrongdoing; it simply means less publicly verifiable detail about the company behind it. Combined with a high community rating and a clear privacy declaration that data is not sold or misused, the overall risk profile appears well‑managed for cautious use.
