Is BlurSafe for WhatsApp safe?
BlurSafe for WhatsApp loads Google Fonts and Ko-fi resources in its popup, sending request metadata to those services.
When the extension popup is opened, it requests a Google Fonts stylesheet and a Ko-fi image from remote servers. Those popup requests can send normal browser request metadata such as IP address and referrer, but the claim does not show WhatsApp page content being sent through this path.
