Is Censor Tracker safe?
Censor Tracker fetches its proxy server configuration from a remote GitHub URL and routes all browser traffic through that server.
On startup and every 15 minutes, the extension retrieves a configuration file from raw.githubusercontent.com to determine which proxy server to use. It then builds a PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) file from that server's address and applies it to all browser traffic via the proxy API. The extension also disables any other installed extensions that hold the proxy permission when a user activates its proxy control.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
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 Censor Tracker 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.
