User reviews

Does not work well at all. Will not work on just any page. Also caused my internet browser to redirect to a 3rd party website and would not allow me to do a search for anything. It kept coming up with an error. I uninstalled the extension and my explorer went back to normal. Uninstalling as soon as I submit this review. Very suspicious behavior for an extension.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Paintly - Paint on web tool requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
