Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (5,000) and a good rating (4.5/5), which suggests some level of trust from the user community.
- However, the lack of developer information and a detailed description raises some concerns about transparency and accountability.
Concerns:
- The extension requests the "clipboardRead" and "clipboardWrite" permissions, which allow it to read and modify the clipboard content. While these permissions may be necessary for the extension's functionality, they could potentially be misused to compromise security or privacy.
- The extension can inject scripts into any website (*://*/*) through its content scripts, which is a broad and potentially risky permission. This could enable the extension to read sensitive data, modify website content, or steal credentials.
- The "storage" and "contextMenus" permissions, while not inherently high-risk, could be used in conjunction with other permissions to facilitate malicious activities.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when using this extension, as it has broad permissions and the potential for misuse.
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and check for any suspicious activities or unauthorized data access.
- If possible, investigate the developer's background and reputation to assess their trustworthiness.
- Consider using alternative extensions with similar functionality but more transparent and reputable developers, or explore built-in browser features that may achieve the same functionality without the need for an extension.
