In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests storage to save local settings and host access to specific Google services, including translate.googleapis.com for its core translation function, clients5.google.com likely for supplementary features, and google-analytics.com for usage tracking. For a translation tool, this permission set is expected and minimal — it does not request broad access to all websites, only the APIs it needs to operate.
Translation extensions generally operate by sending text to external services, so users should be mindful about translating sensitive information. The presence of an analytics host means some usage data is collected, which is common but a point to check against the developer’s stated privacy practices (they declare data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes). As with any extension that handles content, maintaining it is crucial to keep up with security fixes.
The strongest dimension in the assessment is Permissions & Access (95/100), reflecting a tight, purpose-limited scope. The weakest is Maintenance & Ownership (10/100), which signals potential concerns about long-term support, publisher transparency, or community responsiveness despite a relatively recent update. A careful user might weigh the robust permission model against the low maintenance score when deciding to install.
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.

Who's Behind TransOver?
- Publisher artemave
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
