In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests the "identity" permission, which allows it to authenticate with your Google account, and "storage" for local settings. It has host access to https://www.googleapis.com/, letting it call Google APIs. This is a minimal and expected permission set for a notes tool that saves directly to Google Drive, as it only needs to create and manage its own files in your Drive.
For any productivity extension that connects to a cloud account, always pay attention to the Google authorization screen when you install it. It should request only the Drive file access it needs—ideally limited to files it creates, not your entire Drive. While the extension does not request broad web access, an authenticated connection to Drive means a compromised or malicious extension could theoretically read or modify notes. Stick to well-reviewed extensions and keep an eye on any changes in requested permissions over time.
The fact sheet shows a strong Maintenance & Ownership score, indicating regular updates and an active developer. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, which suggests limited publicly verifiable information about the publisher, browsecraft.com. A careful user might check the publisher's website and confirm the extension is genuinely from the developer they trust before granting account access.
