Is Blockchair safe?

Low risk

Blockchair scans web pages for crypto addresses and inserts Blockchair links that load its favicon.

On HTTP and HTTPS pages outside Blockchair, the extension's content script looks for cryptocurrency address patterns and wraps matches in links to Blockchair search. When a match is inserted, the page also loads Blockchair's favicon, which can send Blockchair the page referrer or origin.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Blockchair 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.
