In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests only the “storage” and “unlimitedStorage” API permissions. These let it save your Markdown documents and settings locally in your browser’s storage, which is entirely normal for an offline text editor. It does not ask for host permissions to read or alter website content, nor does it need network access, so it does not interact with your browsing activity.
For browser‑based editors, typical risks centre on extensions that silently gain access to your web pages or send your files to an external server. Because this extension lacks those permissions, documents you create remain on your device. As a general precaution, it is still wise to periodically check an extension’s permission list after updates and confirm that it continues to match your privacy expectations.
The safety score shows Maintenance & Ownership as its strongest dimension, meaning the extension is actively updated and its ownership is verifiable. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, which signals that less background information about the developer is publicly available. While the extension appears well‑maintained, users who prefer high publisher transparency may want to do a little extra research before installing.
