Permissions and privacy
Page access
Developer extensions can inspect the active page, its markup, or application state. Use a separate browser profile when debugging sensitive production or customer data.
Data notes
Inspected source, network details, or application state may be sensitive. Check telemetry defaults and avoid exposing secrets while an extension has access to development tools.
Pricing
Free. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
