Is Private Notes safe?

Clean risk

Stores encrypted private notes and syncs them through Chrome Sync without extension host permissions.

This extension lets you save sensitive text such as recovery codes, Wi‑Fi passwords, and server configs as encrypted notes. It uses a password-derived key, keeps unlocked notes and decryption keys in memory, supports rich text and code highlighting, and creates encrypted local backups. The description says note data is synchronized by Chrome Sync and that the extension has no permissions to make remote requests.
