Is Snippet Buddy: Text Expander for Chrome safe?
Snippet Buddy reads typed form text on all websites to detect saved snippet shortcuts.
Snippet Buddy runs a content script on every page and frame. As you type, it checks the active form text or current selection against shortcuts saved in Chrome storage, then replaces a matching suffix with the configured snippet. The confirmed code path uses this data locally and does not identify a network recipient.
