Is Citationsy - Cite Websites and Papers safe?
Citationsy - Cite Websites and Papers sends the active tab URL or extracted DOI to Citationsy when you use the popup.
When you click the extension popup, it checks the active page URL for a DOI and may read the page text to find one. It then opens Citationsy with either that DOI or the encoded current tab URL, so citationsy.com receives the page being cited or the identifier found.
