Is Are.na safe?

Clean risk

Are.na lets users save web pages, images, and links to their Are.na channels directly from the browser.

When activated via toolbar click or right-click context menu, the extension reads the current page URL and title, then opens an in-page sidebar where the user can select an Are.na channel and save the content. The extension authenticates against www.are.na using the user's existing browser session cookie, and all saved content is transmitted only to www.are.na. No third-party services receive any data.

Shared hosts - 2 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 Are.na 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.

  • www.are.na

    Are.na sends data to www.are.na. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
