Is Ghost Downloader Browser Extension safe?
Ghost Downloader Browser Extension sends HTTP download URLs, referrers, headers, and filenames to a local service.
When an HTTP download starts, the extension captures matching request headers, cancels the browser download, and builds a record containing the final URL, filename, referrer, and headers. If connected, it sends that JSON record to the local Ghost Downloader WebSocket service at ws://localhost:14370.
