I highly recommend against downloading chrome extensions from unvetted third parties especially those which interact with LinkedIn. They are a VERY common vector for Malware, either to scrape your own contact details, to scrape your connections, or to do any manner of shady things.
There is a long and deep history of LinkedIn related chrome extensions that I won't get into. Many are a violation of LI's TOS. Most have to do with Lead sourcing for sales organizations. A lot of LI information ends up getting resold on grey market sites. Just don't do it. The convenience isn't worth it.
- calmchaos 7y agoThe extension does not send your data anywhere. It only requests access to linkedin.com domain and all data stays within your browser. Nothing is sent to websites or outside your browser. We don't collect any data and fully respect your privacy. The source code of the extension is not minified or obfuscated in any way so you can review it in your browser if you are sceptical.
