Format Copier is praised for saving time and enhancing the professionalism of emails by providing a format painter feature for Gmail.

Recent reviews
Can't use it unless you pay, but price not shown anywhere when installing. If it were a one off fee, I could almost understand, though it's still deceptive to not openly state that, but its a SUBSCRIPTION, jfc. Deceptive as hell, idk if the other (positive, 5 star) reviews were all from when it was free, or if they moderate/delete reviews.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Format Copier requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
