I don't care about cookies

The extension has a substantial user base of 900,000 users, which suggests some level of community acceptance. However, the moderate rating of 3.8 out of 5 from 1,300 reviews indicates mixed user experiences. The lack of visible developer information raises transparency concerns, making it difficult to assess the publisher's credibility and track record.

The extension's permission set is extremely broad and powerful for its stated purpose of handling cookie notices. The combination of tabs, webRequest, webNavigation, and universal host permissions creates a surveillance-capable toolkit that far exceeds what's needed for cookie banner management. These permissions allow comprehensive tracking of browsing behavior, interception of web traffic, and potential data harvesting across all websites. The webRequest permission is particularly concerning as it enables modification of network traffic, which could be exploited for malicious purposes.

Given the critical risk level, avoid installing this extension on your primary browser profile. If you must use it, create a dedicated Chrome profile for non-sensitive browsing activities. Consider alternative cookie management extensions with more limited permissions, or use browser built-in cookie controls. Regularly review what data the extension might be collecting and monitor your browsing performance for any unusual behavior. The risk-to-benefit ratio appears unfavorable given the extensive permissions required for relatively simple functionality.
