Briskine — FAQ
Is Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ safe to use on LinkedIn?
Our static code audit rates Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ MEDIUM risk. It works through your own logged-in browser session — your cookie stays on your machine and only scraped results are uploaded — which is safer than cloud tools that take your session. It is still a Chrome extension LinkedIn can detect, and its ID is on LinkedIn's detection list.
Does LinkedIn detect Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™?
Yes. Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™'s extension ID is on LinkedIn's active extension-detection (AED) list, so LinkedIn's page code probes for it on every visit (it requests the file popup/popup.html) — LinkedIn knows the extension is installed before you do anything.
Can Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ get my LinkedIn account banned or restricted?
Detection isn't an instant ban — LinkedIn scores accounts on many cumulative signals. But Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ stacks a known extension ID on LinkedIn's list, programmatic (isTrusted:false) clicks, and independent reviews report restrictions and permanent bans for Chrome-extension automators. Safe daily limits reduce the behavioral risk but can't offset a detectable architecture.
Does Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ have access to my LinkedIn account?
It reads LinkedIn data through your own browser session (the Voyager API) and uploads only the results — your session token itself stays on your machine.
How does Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ work — is it a Chrome extension or a cloud tool?
Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™ is a extension (no session access; in-page templating tool) that runs inside your own Chrome browser.
What is a safer alternative to Briskine: Email templates for Gmail™?
A standalone desktop app such as Linked Helper removes the two extension-specific detection surfaces: there is no Chrome-Store ID for LinkedIn's AED scanner to probe and nothing injected into the page for its DOM scan, and your session never leaves your machine. No tool is unbannable, but the surface it exposes is far smaller.
