Is Freechess Chrome safe?
Freechess Chrome lets a local desktop automation app drive the browser, including cookies, page content and scripts, over localhost.
The extension connects to a native host named freechess.chrome.host, which tells it a local port. A desktop automation program then sends commands over a WebSocket on 127.0.0.1 to read and set cookies, capture network responses, read page content, run JavaScript and control tabs. A second localhost channel on port 14401 carries element-picker data. No remote server is contacted.
