Is FoxClocks safe?

Low risk

FoxClocks sends clicked statusbar clock details from extension storage to the current page window.

When the statusbar is enabled, FoxClocks injects an iframe into every page. If you click a clock in that statusbar, the iframe posts the selected watchlist item and timezone details from extension storage back to the page window so its content script can show the related information.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

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.
