Is ReadFast - Speed Reading safe?

Low risk

ReadFast - Speed Reading opens selected, page, or clipboard text in a local speed-reading frame.

ReadFast can read selected text, page text, or clipboard text when you use its menu item, shortcut, or toolbar controls, then displays that text in its reader frame. The reviewed code stores reader preferences and position in Chrome storage and does not show a network endpoint receiving the text.

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