Is COGext : System Monitor safe?
COGext : System Monitor resolves your public IP address through api.ipify.org for its network dashboard.
When the popup opens, the extension gathers system-card data and updates its Network card. If the browser is online and the cache has expired, it requests https://api.ipify.org, stores the returned public IP address temporarily, and displays it in the dashboard.
