Is Page Notes – Sticky Notes for Web Pages Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests permissions like tabs, storage, and sidePanel, which are normal for a sticky notes tool that associates notes with specific web pages. It also uses the identity permission and access to googleapis.com and accounts.google.com, which suggest it may offer optional Google Drive sync for your notes. For a general browser extension in this category, such a permission set is not unusual, but users should understand that granting OAuth access allows the extension to read and write data in their Google account, limited by the scopes it requests.

Note-taking extensions that offer cloud sync require care because they can store personal or sensitive notes. Even when a developer declares privacy practices — here stating that data is not sold or misused — the protection of synced content depends on both the extension’s code and the cloud platform’s security. A careful user should review which data is synced, ensure they trust the cloud provider, and avoid storing highly sensitive information unless necessary.

In our assessment, this extension scored highest for maintenance and ownership, pointing to an actively updated project with a clear owner. Its lowest dimension was publisher identity, which suggests less publicly verified background detail about the developer. This gap doesn’t indicate a problem, but it means users who prefer thoroughly vetted publishers might find the transparency here slightly lower than in other areas.
