Is HackBar safe?

Clean risk

HackBar stores the current page request URL, body, and headers locally for its DevTools request editor.

HackBar uses broad webRequest access to read main-frame request details for sites you open, including the URL, HTTP method, request body, and headers. It saves those details in Chrome session storage so its DevTools panel can load the captured request into the extension's editor. The reviewed code and claims do not show this captured request data being sent to an outside recipient.
