Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a moderate user base of 10,000 users and a decent rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars from 70 reviews, suggesting reasonable user satisfaction. However, the lack of developer information and company details raises transparency concerns. The generic name "Bookmarks" without clear branding or developer attribution makes it difficult to verify legitimacy.
The primary concern is the bookmarks permission, which grants full access to read, create, modify, and delete all bookmarks. While this permission is expected for a bookmarks-related extension, it poses privacy risks as bookmarks often contain sensitive information about browsing habits, work-related sites, and personal interests. The absence of developer information makes it impossible to assess the company's reputation or data handling practices. The generic naming could indicate a potentially deceptive extension mimicking legitimate bookmark managers.
Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate bookmark access from your main browsing profile. Before installation, verify this is the specific bookmarks extension you intended to install, as the generic name could be confusing. Review the extension's actual functionality to ensure the bookmarks permission is necessary for its stated purpose. Consider using well-established bookmark management extensions from verified developers with clear privacy policies. Regularly audit which extensions have access to your bookmarks and remove any that are no longer needed.
