Is Umia safe to install?

What data it declares

The developer declares that it does not collect or use your data.

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

From the permissions it declares, Chrome shows no permission warning when you add it.

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

No site access is declared in the manifest, so it cannot read the pages you open on its own.

Reaches your browsing data or every site

• Read and change cookies on the sites it can access cookies

Worth knowing

• Run its own code on the pages it can access scripting

Routine for an extension

• Run work in a hidden page offscreen
• Store data in your browser storage

What it may ask for later

Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse. It may later ask for access to every site.

• http://localhost/* only localhost
• https://*/* every site

Sites that can connect to it

Web pages matching these patterns can open a messaging channel to it: 5 site patterns.

• https://app.devnet.umia.finance:443/* only app.devnet.umia.finance
• https://app.testnet.umia.finance:443/* only app.testnet.umia.finance
• https://app.umia.finance:443/* only app.umia.finance

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.

What the store shows

The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.

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.
