In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests activeTab, storage, contextMenus, scripting, and host access limited to *.inoreader.com. In practice, activeTab and scripting can read or modify the current page only when the extension is invoked, storage can save settings locally, contextMenus can add right-click options, and the host permission allows interaction with Inoreader's own site. For an RSS read-later tool, this is a relatively narrow permission set, as it does not request broad access to all websites.
RSS and read-later extensions often need some page access to detect feeds or save articles, so users should be aware that activeTab or scripting can see page content at the moment of use. The developer declares it collects personally identifiable information and authentication information, and states data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes. These declarations are self-reported and not independently verified.
The fact sheet shows a strong maintenance and ownership score, suggesting the extension is actively updated and managed. The weakest dimension is publisher and identity, meaning there is less public evidence about the publisher's background, which is common for smaller or less-documented developers and not by itself proof of harm.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
