User reviews

User reviews of the "Settings" Chrome extension are mixed. Many appreciate that it provides a quick shortcut to access Chrome's settings, especially helpful when default menus are missing or difficult to find due to updates or bugs. It functions well and helps users overcome issues caused by Chrome or OS glitches. However, some users find it redundant and unnecessary since it only replicates built-in functionality requiring only a couple of clicks. Others feel installing an extension for basic settings access is excessive. Overall, it serves a useful purpose for those facing specific problems but is less favored by users comfortable with Chrome's standard interface.

Absolute rubbish, its 2 clicks... first click opens a menu, second click opens settings, that's exactly the same as opening it the standard way. Utterly pointless.

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.

Settings does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Settings has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
