In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests the ability to read and alter data on every website you visit through its host access. Combined with the tabs and storage permissions, it can technically track your browsing across the web and access sensitive page content, such as pricing details, login forms, or personal messages. For a price tracker, scanning product pages to find prices is expected, but this blanket access extends to all sites, not just shopping platforms.
Users of price-tracking and coupon extensions should be aware that these tools often use affiliate links or inject tracking cookies, which can modify the URLs you visit or earn commissions at no direct cost to you. Because the extension can see everything you type or view on a page, it is wise to ensure you are comfortable with the developer's data handling before entering sensitive information. The developer's self-declared privacy disclosures list collection of personal communications, web history, and website content, which is a broad scope.
Looking at the fact sheet, the strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, suggesting the extension is actively updated with a perfect score in that area. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, indicating there is less public evidence about the developer's long-term trustworthiness or track record, even though the extension itself is kept current.
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.
