NOTE: Don't worry about the permission saying " It can Read and change all your data on websites you visit" Its just Chrome's horrible way to tell users that plugin can add additional text to your webpage, which is necessary for FEATURE No. 4 to work. We are not stealing/modifying any of your personal data that is not linked to Dictozo anyway. Read our Privacy Policy for sake
- On successful install, you will receive a confirmation mail from Dictozo containing your Email and Password on the Email ID which you have signed in to chrome.
