Is AssetView Web filter extension safe?
AssetView Web filter extension intercepts all HTTP and HTTPS requests and sends blocked URLs to a local native host application.
The extension registers a blocking listener on all web requests and consults policy settings received from the native host application (com.hammock.astmc_web_filter_extension) to determine whether to allow or redirect each request. When a URL matches a configured filter rule with blocking enabled, the extension redirects the browser and logs the blocked URL by forwarding it to the native host via a postMessage call. All communication stays local — no URLs are transmitted to remote servers.
