Is ChatGPT Sidebar by cloudHQ safe?

Low risk

ChatGPT Sidebar by cloudHQ reads ChatGPT session access tokens and stores the auth data in Chrome sync storage.

When a user visits ChatGPT, the extension fetches ChatGPT's auth session data and sends the full response to its background script. The background script saves that authentication JSON, including the access token, in Chrome sync storage.

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.
