Is Games Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests only the "storage" permission and host access to its own publisher domain, pothos.info. The storage permission allows it to save a small amount of data locally in your browser, such as settings or a game score. The host access lets it communicate with its own website, which is a normal way for a web-based game to load content or save progress. This is a very limited permission set, and it does not include the ability to read or modify data on other websites you visit.

For any general browser extension that provides games, a careful user should be aware that the primary safety consideration is often the publisher's trustworthiness rather than technical permissions. Since the extension loads content from its own domain, the safety of the game depends on that website remaining secure. Users should also be mindful that some game extensions can be cloned or imitated by malicious publishers to distribute unwanted software.

Based on the available evidence, the strongest aspect of this extension is its minimal permission requests, which align well with its function and limit potential exposure. The weakest dimension is publisher and identity, which received a lower score, suggesting that publicly documented information about the developer's background or history may be limited.
