Is Page Marker - Draw on Web Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

The extension requests the activeTab, storage, and scripting permissions. This allows it to temporarily access the current page only when you click its toolbar icon, run drawing scripts on that page to create markings, and save your settings locally. For a tool that lets you draw directly on websites, this permission set is minimal and expected — it cannot silently read all your tabs or run on pages without your interaction.

Any extension that can modify page content could potentially observe what you are marking, but in this case the access is user‑triggered and limited to the tab you activate. General safety advice for this category is to use such tools only on trusted sites and remain cautious if the publisher’s identity is not well known. Here, the publisher trust signal (60%) is moderate, so you may want to favour extensions that provide clearer public contact or business information.

The strongest dimension is Data & Privacy (100%), based on the developer’s own declarations that data is not sold or misused — a positive sign but still self‑reported. The weakest is Maintenance & Ownership (10%), reflected by the fact that the extension was last updated in December 2023. A low maintenance score means updates may be rare, which could lead to compatibility issues or unpatched vulnerabilities over time, so a user who values long‑term support should keep this in mind.
