Is Folx 5 safe?
Folx 5 forwards download URLs, referrers, and cookies to the local Folx download handler.
When a matching download starts, Folx 5 reads the download URL, filename, referrer, and cookies for that URL, then cancels the browser download and opens it through Folx. Its context-menu download actions also pass the selected or page links, referrer, and target-site cookies to the local Folx handler.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Folx 5 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.
