Is Transcripter 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

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

• Read and change all your data on all websites

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.

Routine for an extension

• Act on the current tab, but only after you click it activeTab
• Declares runtime
• Store data in your browser storage

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.

• http://*/* every site
• https://*/* every site
• <all_urls> every site

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.

• https://www.transcripter.co/* only www.transcripter.co
• https://transcripter-process-file.vercel.app/* only transcripter-process-file.vercel.app
• http://localhost:3001/* only localhost

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.
