The tool is so useful and will a great time saver for those who have to take lot of notes from web pages and club it together. The tool helps to highlight the key points we wish and the page when revisited will retain the same highlights we made. The even more benefit is that the option to extract all our highlights to our file. Great appreciation for the developer

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.

Yawas requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
