Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:

The extension has a strong user rating of 4.9 stars from 26 reviews, indicating positive user experiences. However, with only 2,000 users, it has a relatively small user base which limits the scope of community vetting. The lack of visible developer information and company details reduces transparency and accountability.

Concerns:

The primary concern is the tabs permission, which allows broad access to browser tab information and manipulation capabilities. This is excessive for a prompt management tool, which should primarily focus on text storage and organization. The combination of tabs, scripting, and activeTab permissions creates a powerful set of capabilities that could be misused to access sensitive information across multiple browser tabs. The storage permission, while necessary for a prompt manager, combined with these other permissions raises the overall risk profile.

Recommendations:

Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate it from sensitive browsing activities. Before installation, verify that the extension's functionality truly requires tab manipulation beyond the active tab. Monitor the extension's behavior after installation and revoke permissions if you notice unexpected tab interactions. Given the limited user base and missing developer information, exercise additional caution and consider alternative prompt management solutions with more transparent development teams or more restrictive permission sets.
