In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests broad permissions including host access to all HTTPS sites and several localhost IPs, plus clipboardWrite, scripting, tabs, and notifications. In practice, this allows it to read and modify data on any website, inject scripts, access your open tabs, and place data on your clipboard. For a crypto wallet, this scope is normal because it must interact with decentralized applications across many sites and manage wallet addresses. However, the combination of such broad access with clipboard writing does mean the extension has a powerful presence in your browser.
Crypto wallets are a high-risk category. Users should always verify they are installing the genuine extension from the official store and be alert for clones or phishing attempts. Never share your recovery phrase or private key with any site or person, and be cautious of unexpected prompts. The developer-declared privacy practices state that data like location and user activity are collected but not sold or used for unrelated purposes — though the actual data handling cannot be independently confirmed from store disclosures alone.
The fact sheet shows a score of 73.95 out of 100. The weakest dimension is Permissions & Access (58%), reflecting the wide-reaching host permissions and clipboard access. The strongest is Maintenance & Ownership (100%), indicating the extension is actively maintained, which is important for timely security fixes.

Who's Behind Trust Wallet?
- Publisher DApps Platform Software Services Ltd.
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.
