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

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

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

Routine for an extension

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on every page you open: the manifest declares a content script for all sites.

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: 3 site patterns.

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.

How usual this is for its category

What the store shows

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.

The permissions this extension requests have not changed since we started watching it.

Who publishes it

RefAssured. This listing has been in the store since 2023-02-12 and was last updated on 2026-02-12.

Similar extensions that ask for less

Listings close to this one in what they say they do, which declare less reach. Less reach is not a verdict on either: compare what each needs for the job.
