Is BibBot safe?
BibBot sends article metadata from supported news sites to the selected library provider to search for accessible copies.
When BibBot finds a paywalled article on one of its supported news sites, it extracts article details such as the title query, edition, and publication date. It sends those details through its background script to the user's selected library provider, opening an inactive provider tab and building a search URL such as a genios.de search request.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 0.40.8. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed BibBot 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.
