Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a perfect 5.0 rating, though based on only 4 reviews, which limits the reliability of this metric. With 187 users, it represents a small but focused user base typical of niche developer tools. The extension targets Advent of Code, a well-known programming challenge website, suggesting legitimate educational/productivity purposes. The manifest version 3 compliance indicates modern security standards.
The primary concern is the extremely limited user feedback with only 4 ratings, making it difficult to assess real-world reliability and safety. The small user base of 187 could indicate either a new extension or limited adoption. Missing developer information reduces transparency and accountability. The content script injection on Advent of Code pages, while appropriate for the extension's purpose, still represents code execution on external websites.
This extension appears safe for use given its minimal permissions and focused scope. The content script limitation to Advent of Code domains is appropriate and well-scoped. However, due to the small user base and limited reviews, consider monitoring the extension's behavior when first installed. Users participating in Advent of Code challenges can likely use this extension safely in their main browser profile, as the risk level is minimal and the functionality appears legitimate for converting coding challenges to Markdown format.
