Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension requires permissions to inject a piece of code in all of the pages you visit. If that freaks you out, that's ok. Handing over those permissions freaks me out too.

You can choose to install this extension from source (it's very short) to make sure it's not doing anything malicious. See: https://github.com/oslego/chrome-backspace-back#from-source
