Is 360 Internet Protection safe?
360 Internet Protection transmits tab URLs, page titles, and HTTP status codes to a locally installed native app on every navigation.
The extension registers listeners for tab creation, update, activation, and web navigation events, forwarding browsing history data to the native host com.google.chrome.wdwedpro on each navigation. It also injects a helper object into pages and relays page-originated messages to the same native host without validating the originating page's domain. Both data flows are directed to software installed locally on the user's machine, not to a remote server.

Shared hosts - 5 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed 360 Internet Protection contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
