The extension has a reasonable rating of 4.3 stars, suggesting user satisfaction. The name "Safe Search in Chrome" clearly indicates its purpose of providing safer browsing experiences. The developer domain "safesearchpilot.com" appears to be dedicated to this specific functionality. The extension uses Manifest V3, which is Google's newer, more secure extension framework with enhanced security controls.
The main concern is the lack of detailed information provided - missing data on user count, last update date, specific permissions, and technical implementation details makes it difficult to conduct a thorough assessment. Without knowing the exact permissions requested, it's impossible to determine if the extension has access beyond what's necessary for safe search functionality. The absence of visible security findings could indicate either a genuinely secure extension or insufficient analysis depth.
Given the minimal risk assessment and the nature of safe search functionality, this extension appears relatively safe to use. However, due to the incomplete information available, consider reviewing the extension's actual permissions in Chrome's extension management page before installation. Monitor the extension's behavior after installation to ensure it only affects search results as intended. If you're particularly security-conscious, you could test it in a separate Chrome profile initially to observe its functionality before using it in your main browsing environment.
