In-depth safety analysis
Link Grabber requests permissions that are typical and expected for its function. The "activeTab" permission allows it to read the current page's links only when you invoke the extension, rather than accessing all websites automatically. "clipboardWrite" lets it copy those links to your clipboard, and "contextMenus" adds a right-click option for quick access. The "scripting" permission enables it to inject the necessary code to extract links from the page you are viewing.
For any general browser extension that interacts with page content, a careful user should be aware that the tool can technically see the structure and text of the active tab when used. It is wise to avoid using such extensions on sensitive pages, like banking or email, unless necessary. The developer's privacy declarations state data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, which is a positive signal, but these are self-reported claims.
This extension's strongest dimension in the fact sheet is Community Reputation, suggesting a generally positive user experience based on its store rating. The weakest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, which can indicate potential concerns about how actively the extension is updated or the transparency of its publisher, something a user might consider for long-term reliability.

Who's Behind Link Grabber?
- Publisher Don
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.
