User reviews

Users appreciate Clippy for its ease of use, fast and instant clipboard synchronization, especially from PC to mobile devices, and its free availability. The extension is praised for a clean and simple interface. However, multiple users report sign-in problems on Android devices, causing frustration due to inability to sign in or loops. Additionally, synchronization seems one-way at times, with clipboard data not syncing from mobile to PC. A few users experienced critical copy-paste malfunctions after installation, but these were less commonly reported.

Pros

Easy to set up and use
Fast and instant synchronization between devices
Effectively syncs clipboard content from PC to mobile
Free and helpful
Clean and simple user interface

Cons

Sign-in issues, especially on Android devices, causing users to be stuck in sign-in loops
Limited synchronization direction: copies from PC appear on phone but not vice versa
Some reported persistent copy-paste functionality issues after installation and uninstallation (though mentioned by fewer users)

Perfect! Exactly what I need after "Clipt" went out. It is even faster. Thank you very much. Please don't abandon this project

When installing a popup says that it will run even after chrome is closed. That is already suspicious. Also some copy and pasting features won't work after installing it. Even in other apps. And the worst. Even when uninstalling the extension this problem persists. So all this extension basically does is break the copy and paste feature of windows PERMANENTLY. There is no way to reverse it.

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.

Clippy requires very minimum permissions.

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.

Clippy is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this extension.
