The extension has a very small user base of only 31 users, which raises concerns about its legitimacy and testing. While it maintains a decent 4.2-star rating, the extremely limited adoption suggests minimal real-world validation. The lack of developer information and company details makes it difficult to assess the creator's reputation or accountability. The manifest version 3 compliance is positive, indicating adherence to modern security standards.
The primary concern is the extremely low user count combined with missing developer information, which could indicate an abandoned, experimental, or potentially suspicious extension. The absence of detailed technical information about permissions and scripts makes it difficult to fully assess what the extension actually does beyond its basic description as a note-taking tool. The lack of recent update information is also concerning for ongoing security maintenance.
Given the low user base and missing developer details, consider using well-established note-taking alternatives with larger user bases and verified developers. If you choose to use this extension, run it in a separate Chrome profile to isolate any potential risks. Monitor the extension's behavior closely and be prepared to remove it if any suspicious activity occurs. Consider waiting for the extension to gain more users and developer transparency before adoption.
