Is Event Watcher safe?
Event Watcher sends tracker hostnames seen on inspected pages to Amplitude analytics by default.
Event Watcher is a devtools panel that inspects tracking requests on the page you are viewing. By default it sends usage analytics to Amplitude, including hostnames of unrecognised third-party trackers, a persistent random device ID, and an IP-derived country. Only hostnames are sent, and separate settings let users turn off analytics or the hostname sharing.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Event Watcher 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.
