What our analysis found

Key findings
- Medium
Other
The bundled manifest declares optional_permissions as ["tabs"], while the published Chrome Web Store summary lists optional_permissions as ["notifications"]. This mismatch may confuse users, as the extension no longer requests notifications but instead requests the tabs permission, which provides read access to browsing history. The listing does not reflect the current permissions, potentially causing privacy concerns when the actual permission prompt appears.
Analyst notes
The extension only sends URLs to archive.today (and aliases) strictly upon user action (toolbar click, context menu, keyboard shortcut). No unauthorized data collection or exfiltration occurs; the activeTab and storage permissions are used legitimately for archiving functionality. The welcome page and privacy policy clearly disclose the sharing of URLs with Archive Today. The manifest mismatch between the published CWS summary and the bundled manifest is a listing issue but not indicative of malicious intent.
