In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only three permissions: activeTab, scripting, and storage. The activeTab and scripting permissions allow it to read and modify the current page’s content only when you click the extension, which is a minimal and expected scope for a tool that converts the page you’re viewing into Markdown. The storage permission lets it save your preferences locally. These permissions are normal for a general-purpose content extraction extension and do not grant ongoing background access to all websites.
For any extension that can read page content, a careful user should consider what pages they activate it on. While the developer’s privacy practices state that collected website content is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, the extension could technically access sensitive information displayed on the active tab. The publisher identity is not strongly verified, which is common for smaller developers but means there is less public accountability
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.
