Is ESET Browser Privacy & Security safe?

Clean risk

Adds ESET browser security tools for safer search results, cleanup, site permission review, and image metadata removal.

This extension works with supported ESET HOME Security subscription tiers on Windows to add browser privacy and security features. It can label search results for safety, clear selected browser data on demand or automatically, help review website permissions, and remove metadata from uploaded JPEG images when available for the user’s tier. Its permissions allow access to tabs, cookies, browsing data, browser settings, web navigation, and all websites, plus communication with a native ESET component.

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.
