One click emoji downloader for Slack
Version 1 View in Chrome Web Store
Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has extremely limited trust indicators with only 201 users and a concerning 1.0 rating from just one review. The lack of developer information, missing last updated date, and absence of company details significantly undermines credibility. The low adoption rate suggests either a new extension or one that users avoid.
The downloads permission is excessive for a simple emoji downloader, as it grants access to the entire download history and ability to download any files. The content script injection specifically targets Slack's emoji customization pages, which could potentially access sensitive workspace data. The combination of broad download capabilities with targeted Slack access creates privacy risks. The poor rating and minimal user base suggest potential functionality or security issues that early adopters have encountered.
Given the high-risk permission model and poor trust indicators, avoid installing this extension. If emoji downloading functionality is needed, seek established alternatives with better ratings and larger user bases. If you must use this extension, run it in a completely separate Chrome profile isolated from your main browsing and work accounts. Monitor your download folder for any unexpected files and regularly review your download history for unauthorized activity. Consider using Slack's built-in emoji import features instead.
