- The developer information is not provided, making it difficult to assess their reputation or trustworthiness.

Concerns:

Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it has access to sensitive domains and broad host permissions, which could potentially compromise your privacy and security.
- Consider using this extension in a separate browser profile or a dedicated browser instance to isolate its activities and minimize potential risks.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and activities, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious behavior or if you no longer need its functionality.
- Look for alternative extensions with similar functionality but from more reputable developers or with fewer permissions required.
