Is Desktop Screen Recorder safe?

Low risk

Desktop Screen Recorder lets any frame on the active tab trigger a screenshot capture and local PNG download.

After the user enables the drawing feature, the extension injects a page script that listens for download messages. That listener does not check which frame sent the message, so any frame in the active tab can make the extension capture the visible tab and save the screenshot as a local PNG.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
