Is Explain and Send Screenshots Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests permissions that allow it to capture and interact with your current tab’s content. The activeTab and scripting permissions mean it can read and modify the page you are viewing when you invoke it, while system.display helps it capture screenshots accurately. The storage, notifications, and contextMenus permissions are typical for saving settings, showing alerts, and adding right-click menu items. Overall, this scope is normal for a screenshot and annotation tool, though it does have the technical ability to access sensitive on-screen information.

For any screenshot extension, a careful user should be aware that it can see everything displayed in the browser, including private messages, financial details, or passwords if they are visible. The developer’s privacy disclosures state that the extension collects personally identifiable information and financial/payment data. This may be required for account features or premium services, but you should review the privacy policy to understand exactly what is collected and why.

The fact sheet shows a high overall safety score of 88.48 (Grade A). The strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership (100%), indicating the extension is actively updated and well-maintained. The weakest is Publisher & Identity (60%), which suggests less public information or verification about the developer behind jasonsavard.com. This doesn’t imply wrongdoing, but it means you have fewer external reassurances about who is responsible for the code.
