What our analysis found

Chrome Notes, used by 100,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2025.

Analyst notes

Extension uses permissions solely for local note‑taking: clipboard for, downloads to save notes as text files, contextMenus to create a new note from selected text. No network access, no remote code, no data exfiltration. All data remains in localStorage. The risk-engine flagged individual permissions as high, but in the context of a notes app they are necessary and benign. Publisher is reputable, user ratings are positive, and third-party risk assessment is low.
