Is Captcha Recognizer safe?

Clean risk

Captcha Recognizer sends CAPTCHA images from supported sites to ocr.holey.cc for recognition.

When a supported site displays a CAPTCHA, the extension draws the image to a canvas, converts it to a base64 string, and posts it to ocr.holey.cc. The returned text is used to fill the CAPTCHA on sites such as ticketing, rail, telecom, university, and payment pages covered by its content scripts.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Captcha Recognizer 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.
