Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension has a very small user base of only 586 users and just 2 ratings, indicating limited community validation. The low rating of 3.0 out of 5 suggests user dissatisfaction or potential issues. The version number 0.0.2 indicates this is still in early development stages, which typically means less stability and testing. The lack of developer information and company details makes it difficult to assess the creator's reputation and accountability.

Concerns:

While the security scan shows minimal technical risks with no concerning findings, several red flags exist from a trust perspective. The extremely limited user adoption combined with poor ratings suggests the extension may not function as expected. Early version numbers often indicate incomplete features or bugs that could affect user experience. The absence of developer contact information or company details raises questions about support and long-term maintenance.

Recommendations:

Given the low user count and poor ratings, consider using more established markdown to PDF conversion tools instead. If you decide to use this extension, install it in a separate Chrome profile to isolate any potential issues. Monitor the extension's behavior closely and be prepared to remove it if problems arise. Look for alternative extensions with higher ratings, more users, and established developers for better reliability and support.
