Is Optilytics safe to install?

What data it declares

The developer declares that it collects these kinds of data:

• Website content such as text, images or links on the pages you open

The developer also certifies that your data is not sold to third parties outside approved uses, not used for purposes unrelated to the extension's core function, and not used to decide creditworthiness or lending.

The listing links to a privacy policy.

This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.

What Chrome asks you to allow

When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:

• Read and change your data on www.youtube.com and optimizify.ai

Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

What it can reach

Specific sites only: 1 match pattern.

• https://www.youtube.com/* only www.youtube.com

Routine for an extension

• Store data in your browser storage

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: 2 site patterns.

• https://www.youtube.com/* only www.youtube.com
• https://optimizify.ai/* only optimizify.ai

A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.

Sites that can connect to it

Web pages matching these patterns can open a messaging channel to it: 1 site pattern.

• https://optimizify.ai/* only optimizify.ai

Declared as externally connectable in the manifest: a page on these sites can exchange messages with the extension, for example to tell it you have signed in. It does not give the page access to your browser.

Has it asked for more over time?

This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
