Ask what the plugin can do
An extension’s purpose and its permitted actions are not the same thing. Compare a promised feature with the access it requests. A passage summarizer, a tab organizer, and a browser-using agent present different review questions. Ask for an explanation of page access, storage, remote processing, and any ability to modify content. Reject vague assurances when a concrete data-flow description is available.
Review the full lifecycle
A useful evaluation includes installation, first use, denied permission, an update, and removal. Keep a record of which version was reviewed and what changed. Test with harmless documents before considering confidential work. Our permission guide explains how to make this review repeatable; it is not a certification of any third-party extension or a promise that an extension is safe.
Three questions to take with you
01Which permissions are essential for the named task?
02How are new permissions communicated?
03What remains after the extension is removed?
