Saved me time and I've avoided object that were reported on the road because this app informed me about a few miles prior thank God for the creators and all the participating wazers that report things like that. p.s. I make sure to do the same :) GR8 APP even though it can use some touching up every now and then I still remain at 5 stars because of the consistency and its reliable when other GPS MAP Apps freeze when needed waze was on point except for using it with U#$r Dr1<er App it sometimes does not sync with the rideshare app after using it continuously for multiple trips ,the app tends to be routed to the last location so pay attention if using a rideshare app with it. even at the most needed time unfortunately i noticed that all apps sometimes have a tendency of a need to be restarted ijs.

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.

Waze - Google Maps™ link requires very minimum permissions.
