Page Edit

Make any webpage into a content editable document and modify it via toolbar popup!

Page Edit is a versatile Chrome extension that transforms any HTML webpage into a content editable document. With a simple toggle button accessed from the toolbar popup, users can activate a design mode that enables direct modifications to webpage content. A convenient toolbar provides text editing options which can be applied after selecting the desired text segment.

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.

Page Edit does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
    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.

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