Is Global Privacy Control (GPC) Inspector safe?

Low risk

Global Privacy Control (GPC) Inspector records request URLs and Cookie headers for every HTTP(S) tab in memory.

The extension watches outgoing HTTP(S) requests from browser tabs and stores each request URL with selected request headers in per-tab memory. When you open the popup, it can show the recorded hostnames and URLs and marks entries that included a Cookie header.

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