In-depth safety analysis
This extension only requests the "storage" permission, which allows it to save settings like your preferred time zones locally. That is an appropriately limited scope for a time zone converter and does not grant it access to your browsing history or the contents of websites you visit.
General browser tools like time zone converters often need to know your approximate location to suggest the right time zone, and the developer discloses that it collects location data for this purpose. A careful user should be aware that any such data handling is separate from browser permissions. Additionally, like any popular utility, clones or look‑alikes can appear in extension stores, so it is wise to confirm you are installing from the official publisher (savvytime.com) rather than a third party.
The strongest safety dimension here is Permissions & Access, reflecting that the extension asks for exactly what it needs and nothing else. The lowest dimension, Publisher & Identity, suggests the developer’s online footprint could be more robustly verified, though this does not indicate wrongdoing. Overall, the extension’s minimal permission set and strong user reviews make it a low‑risk tool for its category.
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.
