Is Free Auto Text Expander for Google Chrome™ safe?
Free Auto Text Expander for Google Chrome monitors form typing on all sites to trigger local text expansions.
The extension runs a content script on every page and frame, watches input, textarea, and editable fields for saved shortcut text, and replaces matches with text stored in Chrome sync storage. When an expansion includes a clipboard placeholder, it reads the clipboard so that text can be inserted into the field. The reviewed code and report did not identify an outbound network sink for the typed text or clipboard contents.
