Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a moderate rating of 3.9 stars from 49 user reviews, which suggests basic functionality but limited widespread adoption. The developer website (codexico.com.br) appears to be a Brazilian development site, though the limited user base and lack of detailed developer information reduces confidence. The extension uses Manifest V3, which is the more secure and current standard for Chrome extensions.
Given the minimal security findings and lack of concerning permissions, this extension appears relatively safe for basic use. However, due to the limited user base and sparse developer information, consider these precautions: verify the extension actually provides the UTF-8 and Unicode functionality you need before installing, monitor for any unusual browser behavior after installation, and consider alternatives with larger user bases and more established developers if this is for critical work. The low adoption rate suggests either limited utility or newer availability in the Chrome Web Store.
