In-depth safety analysis

This extension requests storage for settings and local data, activeTab to access the current page when invoked, contextMenus to add translation options, sidePanel and offscreen for its interface and background work, plus webRequest and declarativeNetRequest permissions to observe and modify network requests. With host access to , it can read and alter page content on any site. Broad page access is expected for a translator covering web pages, PDFs, and video subtitles, but the network-request permissions go beyond a minimal page-reading extension.

Typical safety considerations for translation extensions include that they can see the text of pages being translated, which may include private information if used on sensitive sites. Users should be cautious about enabling such extensions on banking, email, or other high-sensitivity pages, and should prefer official listings because popular translation tools can be imitated. The developer’s stated privacy practices say data is not sold and not used for unrelated purposes, but those are declarations rather than independent proof.

The fact sheet scores Maintenance & Ownership highest at 100%, indicating strong upkeep and clear publisher identity signals, while Permissions & Access is weakest at 58%, reflecting the broad host and network-request scope.
