I often find my tabs frozen after this runs. I have to fully close the tab and reopen a new one to recover. In the most recent case, I accidently mis-clicked some highlighted text, causing it to drag and drop onto its own page. The IP Protect briefly flashed and then the page broke. Not a fan.

Pops up when pasting in the terminal, disrupting input/typing. No idea why it's even active for the SSH extension as it's not a regular "site".

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.

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

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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.

IP Protect is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
