Is Easy RSS safe?
Easy RSS requests Google favicons for feed domains shown with unread entries.
When Easy RSS renders unread feed entries, it uses Google's favicon service to load an icon for each feed domain. This causes the browser to request Google's endpoint with the domain names of feeds that appear in the popup.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Easy RSS 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.
