Editorial standards

Specific claims. Visible conflicts. Useful limits.

Our editorial policy is designed to make a recommendation inspectable—not merely persuasive.

Conflicts of interest

Extension Reviewer has no affiliation with any extension developer covered on this site. Products made, funded, or sold by anyone involved in running this site are excluded from coverage.

Ownership, investment, employment, or compensation ties to a developer disqualify that developer’s products from reviews, rankings, and comparisons. If such a tie ever arises around an already-covered product, the coverage is removed.

Claims and comparisons

Academic integrity

We do not promise that an extension will evade detection, make copied work original, or satisfy a class policy. Students are responsible for citations, source checking, and following course and institutional rules.

Privacy coverage

We summarize the Chrome Web Store’s publisher-supplied disclosures and point readers to official policies. We do not independently audit code or data flows in v1, and say so.

Commercial model

V1 contains no affiliate links, paid placements, sponsored scores, analytics, ads, or lead-generation forms. If the commercial model changes, this policy and affected articles must change before publication.

Dates

Publication and fact-check dates are real dates. Content is never backdated, and refreshed facts always update the visible verification date.
