scammers. They demand confidential passport data, phone number, and everything they have the nerve to do. Under no circumstances should you use this fraudulent company. I categorically do not recommend

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.

Bright Data requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
