Is Poki Games Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension’s permissions are not detailed in the fact sheet, but its perfect score in Permissions & Access indicates that it requests only a minimal set of capabilities appropriate for a general browser extension. Typically, such extensions might need to access the poki.ee domain to provide quick links or game previews, without requiring broad access to all websites. This limited scope is normal for a simple shortcut or launcher tool and does not raise immediate concerns.

For any browser extension that connects to an online gaming portal, users should be aware of category-typical risks. Even legitimate-looking game shortcuts can sometimes be cloned or modified to inject ads or redirect traffic. A careful user should verify that the extension’s requested permissions match its simple function—if it asks to read data on all sites, that would be excessive. Additionally, since the extension interacts with a third-party website, it is wise to review the privacy practices of the linked service itself.

The strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, with a perfect score, suggesting the extension is actively updated and its code is well-managed. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, scoring only 60%, which reflects that the publisher is identified solely by a domain name without additional verification. This is not unusual for smaller developers but means users have less assurance about who is behind the extension.
