Is Simple Notepad safe?

Clean risk

Simple Notepad stores note contents in Chrome bookmarks as data URLs for browser sync.

Simple Notepad stores note text in Chrome bookmarks so bookmark sync can carry notes between browsers. Each note's content is used in a bookmark title preview, and the full note text is encoded into a data: URL under a Simple Notepad bookmark folder.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
