why? It is a google chrome extension, you can see it starts with chrome.google.com 

I can't put any guarantees but I installed it and it works well

If you do not trust Google Chrome, you can find the open source version here and make sure that there are no security flaws:

that's good feedback thanks. I just found the name including "bghaancnengidpcefpkbbppinjmfnlhh"

highly suspicious.

what if you make a typo

or you want to play bullet--it would take longer to type than to use a mouse!

 

It has some good things, and some bad things.

no if you started playing online chess using keyboard only it would definitely be faster than a mouse.

I agree too. Too many times I've slid a rook one square short of where I wanted to slide it.

In a recent game, I only tapped on the g-pawn thinking whether I move it or not, and unintentionally I played g3.

I was really lucky that the opponent kept on blundering and I won this game, otherwise it would have been a draw or I would have lost
