    Privacy and Security with installed extensions

    Due to the fact that Google reviews extensions before they’re published on the Chrome Web Store and continuously monitors them after publication, you can be sure that extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store and that have no warnings on the Chrome browser's Safety Check are generally safe. Nevertheless, we always recommend reviewing extension information before installing it. The Chrome Web Store provides enough information about each extension and its developer. Extensions that follow the best practices are usually awarded the Verified and Featured badges by the Chrome Web Store team. Always check the permissions requested by an extension and how they compare to its goals.
    Audio extensions typically request the "Read and change all your data on all websites" permission because they need to access and modify audio streams on the websites you visit. Limiting the sites with granted permissions is a good practice.
    For more safety, we would recommend regularly doing the following:
    1. Uninstall extensions that you no longer use.
    2. Review the description of an extension in the Chrome Web Store. Keep in mind that ratings, reviews, and privacy practices can change over time.
    3. Limit the sites an extension has permission to work on.
