Summary
This is a simple extension that adds a shortcut to the browser's Extensions page. When installed it will add Extensions button to the toolbar. Click the icon and you'll open the extensions tab. There are two options available: you can set the button to open the extensions list in a new tab or in the current tab and, if you want, you can add/remove the shortcut from the context menu. If you want to have instant access to your extensions right from your toolbar this is the tool -- fast, lightwight and efficient. **Questions & Answers** Why adding separate extension for something that needs only few clicks in the menu? -- Because with the extensions button in the toolbar you’ll do it in one click, which is much faster :) But extensions eat system memory, isn’t it stupid to waste resources just for quick shortcut to the extensions page? -- This extension doesn’t “eat” memory. Technically, it uses non-persistent background page, which means Chrome doesn’t need to reserve memory for the extensions (check the Chrome Task Manager to see for yourself: when you click on the extensions icon it will start the extension, open the extensions page and release the memory used seconds after that)
Safety
Risk impact
Extensions is safe to use. It does not request any sensitive permissions.
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, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Risk likelihood
Extensions may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
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, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
