CryptoTab is a Chrome extension designed to keep you updated with the latest cryptocurrency prices every time you open a new tab. Instead of manually checking multiple sites, you get instant price updates for various popular cryptocurrencies in your browser's new tab window. While CryptoTab provides handy price snapshots, it should not be considered a precise or real-time source for trading or investment decisions, as prices may be slightly delayed. Users are encouraged to verify information from official or reliable market sources before making financial choices.

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.

CryptoTab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

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.

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