Is Smart Sidebar safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Smart Sidebar is medium risk. Version 2.0.5 removed the privacy consent banner that appeared in v2.0.0. The extension's loader script, which runs on every website, now unconditionally activates the full AITOPIA sidebar — including page-content reading, email scanning, and screenshot capture — without asking permission first. Users who previously clicked 'Skip for now' in the v2.0.0 banner are without notifying the user opted in after the update. Dynamic analysis confirmed the sidebar activates on every page navigation with no consent prompt.
