In-depth safety analysis
This extension is a crypto wallet for the Bitcoin ecosystem, including Stacks. Its requested permissions are functionally broad for its category. The *://*/* host permission combined with webNavigation, tabs, and declarativeNetRequest allows the extension to read page content and modify network requests on any website you visit. While the wallet likely needs to interact with decentralized apps and online stores, this level of access is extensive and is the reason the permissions score is low.
Crypto wallets are frequent targets for phishing and malicious clones. A careful user should always verify they have the official extension from the correct publisher, as impersonators in web stores can steal seed phrases and funds. Be extremely cautious of any update, social media link, or support message directing you to enter your recovery phrase, and always confirm transactions on your hardware wallet if you use one. The permissions this extension holds make it critical to trust the source completely.
The developer’s declared privacy practices are positive, stating data is not sold and collection is limited to core functionality. The fact sheet shows perfect scores for privacy, maintenance, and ownership, indicating strong hygiene in those areas. However, the 60% publisher identity score suggests there is room for greater public transparency about the company behind the software, which is a sensible factor to weigh given the high degree of access granted.
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.
