Is Highlight and Copy Protected Text safe?
Highlight and Copy Protected Text sends the active page URL and device ID to Cresotech when copy mode is enabled.
The extension creates a persistent device ID and stores it locally. When you enable copy mode on a page, it sends that ID with the page's origin and path, excluding query strings and hashes, to Cresotech's activation API.
