In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests broad permissions typical of a cryptocurrency wallet. It can read and write data on all websites (https://*/*), access local network addresses, and use the clipboard. These allow it to inject its wallet interface into pages, detect dApp connections, and copy addresses or transaction details—functions that are standard for a self-custody wallet. The scripting and tabs permissions let it interact with web content, while alarms and notifications support background updates and alerts.
For any crypto wallet extension, a user should be aware that the category is a frequent target for phishing and fake clones. The ability to access all websites means the extension can see and modify page content, which is necessary for transaction signing but also a powerful capability. Users should always verify they are installing the official version from a trusted source and be cautious about granting additional approvals within the wallet interface.
Based on the fact sheet, the strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively updated. The weakest is Permissions & Access, which reflects the extensive host and API access granted. The developer declares data collection of location and user activity, though they state this data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes. With a 3.2 rating and a large user base, the extension shows mixed community reception, which is not unusual for a complex financial tool.
