Is DeSpeed Validator safe?
This extension measures your internet speed and contributes proof-of-speed data to DeSpeed’s network.
It lets you register an account, keep the validator active in your browser, and share internet speed measurements with the DeSpeed network. The description says speed proofs are recorded on the blockchain and used for a real-time internet speed map, with rewards for participating users.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed DeSpeed Validator 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.
