In-depth safety analysis
This extension asks for storage to save settings, text-to-speech for pronunciation, a side panel, and activeTab to read the current page only when you click it. It can also use declarativeNetRequest to modify network requests, but exclusively on the Naver dictionary site (en.dict.naver.com). For a dictionary tool that fetches definitions and plays audio, this permission set is focused and expected.
Typical safety considerations for browser extensions include how much host access they need. Here, the host permission is limited to one domain, which is a good practice. Still, users should be aware that extensions from publishers with limited public identity can be harder to vet, even if the extension itself appears well-behaved. The ability to alter network requests on that single site could theoretically affect how the page loads, though in this category it is likely used to retrieve dictionary data.
The safety score is 80/100 (grade A). The strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, suggesting the extension is actively updated and cared for, which supports security. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, meaning little is known about the developer. This combination is common: a well-maintained extension from a less-documented source may still be safe, but a careful user should consider the developer’s transparency.
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.
