Is CrossPilot safe?
CrossPilot fetches and executes code from third-party URLs on every web page every 30 minutes.
Every 30 minutes, CrossPilot contacts an update URL stored at install time (from crosspilot.io) with no domain allow-list restriction. The downloaded ZIP is unpacked and injected as content scripts into all pages (http://*/* https://*/*) in the MAIN world, allowing remotely-served code to run with full page access. Additionally, on each startup the extension sends a persistent device UUID along with the installed sub-app name, version, and appId to Google Analytics.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed CrossPilot 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.
