Is Catchpoint User Experience safe?

Clean risk

Catchpoint User Experience collects page URLs, performance timing, and resource waterfall data across all sites and forwards them to a locally-installed native host.

The extension runs a content script on every page that injects a RUM (Real User Monitoring) instrumentation layer into a hidden iframe, recording XHR requests, page lifecycle events, and per-resource timing. Collected data — including the full page URL, session identifiers, screen dimensions, and JavaScript error details — is relayed to the com.catchpoint.sonarbackend native messaging host installed on the user's machine. The extension also monitors HTTP response status codes across all tabs, storing 4xx/5xx error URLs in local extension storage.

Where it sends data
