In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the “storage” permission and host access to translate.googleapis.com. Storage allows it to save your preferences locally, while the host permission lets it send text to Google’s translation service and receive results. This is a minimal and expected permission set for a translation tool that relies on Google Translate; it does not have broad access to read or modify other websites.
Translation extensions typically transmit the text you select to an external service for processing. Even when the extension itself declares it does not sell or misuse data, the translation provider (in this case Google) will receive the content you translate. Users should be mindful of this when handling sensitive or private text. Because the extension’s host access is limited to the official Google API endpoint, it cannot inject scripts into arbitrary pages, which reduces the risk of unwanted page manipulation.
The strongest dimension in the safety assessment is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively updated and well-maintained. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, reflecting limited publicly available information about the developer. While the declared privacy practices are positive, a lower identity score means users have less independent assurance about who is behind the extension.

Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
