Is ChatGPT context companion safe?
ChatGPT context companion sends selected page text from context-menu prompts to ChatGPT or OpenAI.
When a user invokes a context-menu prompt, the extension builds a prompt from the selected text on the page and submits it to ChatGPT. In the default mode it sends the prompt into a ChatGPT tab; in API mode it posts the same prompt to OpenAI's chat completions API with the user's configured API key.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed ChatGPT context companion 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.
