This acts more like an outline/shortcut maker than a summarizer. The 'summary' creates links to different sections of an article, and all the text of that section will show in a drop-down from the link. I signed in w/my Google account and didn't see any difference. It can be useful. Let's you know in a jiffy if there's a comment section etc. I've seen other outline programs that are quicker and might suit people more typically. I thank the author for reminding me of outliners though.

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.

Frase - article summarizer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
