User reviews

Users appreciate Paste It - Text Snippets as a simple, time-saving tool ideal for pasting repetitive text and templates. It works well in certain applications like JIRA and specific platforms, making it valuable for sales and content work. However, common issues include inconsistent functionality across websites, lack of support for some characters, and usability drawbacks like persistent notifications.

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.

Paste It - Text Snippets does not require any sensitive permissions.
