There is no Trash Button. Notes accidentally deleted will never be recovered. Even temporally notes, the user might need to keep the material for later reference. User at risk of disappointments and risk of notes accidentally deleted and not recovered.

Simple and does the job, nothing more. I love it. However, this extension may not exist much longer, and I wish the developer would update this extension to follow chrome's new guidelines, if possible? Please? re: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."

Sync does not work. Deletes new notes and does not update regularly.

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.

Simple Notepad requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Access to bookmarks may provide insights into user preferences and interests but generally carries low risk.

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.

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