Simplyte simplifies text to make it easier to comprehend. Its minimalist design allows users to highlight a word, sentence, paragraph, or even an entire webpage and change the difficult sayings to much simpler, easy to understand words. By simply highlighting some text and hitting the "S" button on the keyboard, Simplyte will automatically determine which words are hard to understand or uncommon, and replace them directly in the webpage.

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.

Simplyte requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Simplyte may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
