Is Check4Change safe?

Medium risk

Check4Change sends monitored page URLs and selected page text to check4change.com for VIP email alerts over HTTP.

When a watched selection changes and VIP email alerts are enabled, the extension packages the page URL plus the old and new selected text. It Base64-encodes that JSON and posts it to http://www.check4change.com/vip/doEmail.php, which uses cleartext HTTP rather than TLS.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Check4Change 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.
