Is KeePassXC-Browser safe to install?
KeePassXC-Browser asks for 12 browser permissions and 3 site patterns. We do not audit code and we do not judge intent; what we can show is what the listing declares and whether that has changed while we have been watching.
The facts we can check
No score. A single number would compress incomparable things and imply we had weighed them: an ad blocker needs every page and a theme needs nothing, and one figure would be wrong about both.

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
KeePassXC. This listing has been in the store since 2018-02-18 and was last updated on 2026-06-02.
We read the public store listing once a day and keep what it declared. We do not install the extension, do not audit its code, do not judge its intent and publish no contact details for its developer. Last read on 2026-09-09.
