Is Gopeed safe?
Gopeed captures HTTP request headers, including cookies and authorization tokens, from all page navigations and forwards them to the local Gopeed download backend.
The extension intercepts every HTTP request header from main-frame and sub-frame navigations across all URLs using chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders. When a download is created, the stored headers — which may include Cookie and Authorization values — are attached to the task payload and sent via native messaging to com.gopeed.gopeed or via HTTP POST to a user-configured Gopeed server at /api/v1/tasks. This behavior is part of the extension's download coordination feature, intended to authenticate download requests with the user's active session credentials.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Gopeed 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.
