Is HowNow safe?
HowNow sends Google search terms to its backend when its search overlay is enabled.
When you are signed in and the search overlay option is enabled, HowNow reads the query from Google search result pages. It sends that search term to HowNow's API with extension source parameters and your HowNow user authentication headers to fetch overlay results.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed HowNow 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.
- hownow.app
HowNow sends data to hownow.app. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
