In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests broad permissions that allow it to read and modify data on all websites you visit, inject scripts, access the current tab when activated, and write to your clipboard. For a screen recording and screenshot tool, needing to capture content from any page is expected, but the combination of host access and scripting gives it a high level of control over your browsing sessions.
Screen recorders and screenshot apps inherently handle sensitive visual information, so users should be careful about what they capture and trust only well-vetted extensions. The developer’s privacy declaration states they collect personally identifiable information, authentication data, and personal communications, though they claim not to sell it or use it for unrelated purposes. A careful user would review these practices and ensure the extension’s recording indicators are clear to avoid accidental capture of private data.
The fact sheet shows the strongest dimension is Data & Privacy (85%), reflecting transparent privacy disclosures, while the weakest is Publisher & Identity (60%), which may indicate limited publicly available information about the company. This imbalance suggests that while the stated data handling appears reasonable, the lower publisher trust signals could warrant extra caution before granting such extensive permissions.
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.
