Is GSConnect safe?
GSConnect sends user-selected page and link URLs to its local native messaging host.
When you use GSConnect's popup or context menu sharing features, the extension reads the current tab, page, frame, image, or link URL selected for sharing. It forwards that URL to the local GSConnect native messaging host so the desktop integration can handle the share action.

Where it sends data
