Is ChatGPT for StackOverflow safe?

Low risk

ChatGPT for StackOverflow sends StackOverflow question page visits and page metadata to Mixpanel.

When you open a StackOverflow question page, the extension reads the page's question ID and records a Mixpanel event. Mixpanel also receives page metadata such as the current URL and referrer as part of that tracking request.
