In-depth safety analysis
This extension asks for a focused set of permissions: it can read the current page when you click the extension (activeTab), store settings locally (storage), add right-click menu options (contextMenus), and open a side panel (sidePanel). It only connects to a single external URL for signing in. That scope is typical and fairly minimal for a text‑to‑speech reader that needs to speak or highlight page content and optionally sync your account.
As with any reading tool that can access the text of a webpage, a careful user should be aware that when you activate it on a sensitive page, it may process that content locally or, if you’re signed in, send data to its service. The developer declares collecting personally identifiable information and states that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes. For general privacy, it is sensible to review the developer’s privacy policy if you enable the sign‑in feature, and to use the extension only on pages where you are comfortable having the text processed.
Looking at the fact sheet, the strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership (100%), which reflects a clearly owned extension that is being kept up to date (most recent update July 2026). The weakest dimension is Community Reputation (57%), which corresponds to a 3.3‑star average from 47 ratings. Those numbers suggest mixed user experiences, but they do not indicate any specific safety defect. Potential users may want to read recent reviews to see if any recurring complaints match their own needs.
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.
