Is Tailchrome safe?

Clean risk

Connects browser traffic to a Tailscale tailnet without changing system-wide networking.

This extension lets a Chrome profile access devices on a Tailscale tailnet by name or IP, including through MagicDNS, subnet routing, and exit nodes. It uses a native helper app to run a separate Tailscale node for each browser profile, so only browser traffic is routed through the tailnet.

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.
