Is ESET Browser Privacy & Security safe?
Adds browser security, cleanup, permission review, and image metadata removal features for ESET HOME Security users.
This extension works with ESET HOME Security subscription tiers on Windows to help identify safe and unsafe search results, including phishing, malware, and potentially unwanted content. It can clear browser data on demand or on a schedule, review and manage website permissions, and remove metadata from JPEG images uploaded through the browser when the required tier is available.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.1.3. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed ESET Browser Privacy & Security 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.
