Questions
Why does the extension ask for access to websites?
To recognize a shortcut, it reads the text you type in a text field. You can allow all websites or only the ones you choose, and change that at any time in the extension's settings.
Where doesn't it work?
On browser pages such as settings and the extension stores, in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and in password fields.
How do I move my shortcuts to another computer?
Export the library as snippets.json in the extension's library and import the file on the other computer.
