I love the addon! It works very well on most sites and I use it quite often. The only thing I could wish for is a fullscreen feature on the summary and/or some customization for the pop-up.

Is Summarize the Internet Safe?

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.

Summarize the Internet does not require any sensitive permissions.
