Permissions and privacy
Page access
It reads page metadata to build citations. The store listing also describes optional use of unused bandwidth, which users should understand before installing.
Data notes
The public listing says the extension may use unused bandwidth anonymously. Read the current explanation and disable or avoid it if that tradeoff is not acceptable.
Pricing
Free; publisher says no ads. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
