Redirects me to some site, I don`t want to upload my files anywhere... This app does exactly what I need, minimalistic and 100% local protection >>> https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/password-protect-pdf/jamminefolhgepgihbmcjjhgldbfcikp

It's a website... If you click where it says online-converter.freepdfsolutions.com, you can use it without downloading it, and the chrome extension just takes you to the website...
