Is Easy Screenshot Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests extensive host permissions (, *://*/*, and file:///*), which allow it to access any data on any website you visit, as well as local files opened in the browser. While this is typical for a screenshot tool that must capture whatever page you are viewing, it means the extension has broad visibility into your browsing activity. The permissions for downloads and clipboard writing are also expected for saving screenshots and copying them.

For extensions in the screenshots and screen recording category, a key safety consideration is whether they can capture information you did not intend to share, such as private messages or sensitive documents visible on screen. Users should be mindful of what is displayed when using the tool and ensure sensitive data is not accidentally included and saved or shared. Because tools like this can see everything on a page, they are also potential targets for abuse if compromised.

Based on the fact sheet, this extension’s permission handling is relatively well-scoped for its function, reflected in a strong Permissions & Access score. However, its weakest area is Maintenance & Ownership, which suggests potential concerns about how actively the extension is being updated or how clearly the publisher’s background is documented. A cautious user might verify the publisher and ensure the extension remains compatible and secure over time before relying on it for sensitive capture tasks.
