Is Clippy safe?
Clippy fetches remote comment text and renders matching messages as HTML on pages where its content script runs.
Clippy downloads a dictionary of comments from clippy-dictionary.kickass.website and sends those comments to open tabs. On pages whose hostname matches a dictionary key, the content script displays the selected comment through an HTML-rendering path rather than plain text.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Clippy Assistant 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.
