Context-Aware Verdict

LOW
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:

The extension has a solid user base of 10,000 users with an excellent 4.8-star rating from 36 reviews, indicating positive user experiences. The developer appears to be associated with livepolls.app, suggesting a legitimate business entity. The extension uses Manifest V3, which provides enhanced security compared to older versions.

Concerns:

The contextMenus permission allows the extension to add items to your right-click menu, which could potentially be used to inject unwanted options or collect information about your browsing context. While this is considered medium-risk, it's relatively minor for a chart-making tool that might legitimately need to offer "create chart" options in context menus. The main concern is the lack of transparency about what specific context menu items are added and their functionality.

Recommendations:

This extension appears to be relatively safe for general use given its limited permissions and positive user feedback. The contextMenus permission is reasonable for a chart creation tool that might offer quick access through right-click menus. Monitor the context menu items that appear after installation to ensure they align with the extension's stated purpose. If you're particularly security-conscious, you could run it in a separate Chrome profile, though this seems unnecessary given the low overall risk assessment.
