Is Brave Reply safe?
Brave Reply drafts hotel review replies on Ctrip, Meituan and Fliggy via brave.dlcircle.com, with a WeChat login.
The extension adds a side panel to hotel merchant pages on Ctrip, Meituan and Fliggy and sends guest reviews to brave.dlcircle.com to generate replies. A content script on every site accepts window messages without checking their origin, so any web page can read or overwrite the stored WeChat login profile (openid/uid) used with the vendor service.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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 Brave Reply 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.
