Is HypeStat Analyzer safe?
HypeStat Analyzer sends the active tab hostname to hypestat.com when you open its popup.
When you open the popup, HypeStat Analyzer reads the current active tab's URL, reduces it to the hostname, and requests traffic metrics for that site from hypestat.com. The source and manifest indicate this happens for the active tab after popup interaction, not continuously across all browsing.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed HypeStat Analyzer 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.
