Is Image Downloader safe?
Image Downloader sends the active tab URL to Google Analytics when you use image actions in its popup.
The popup reads the URL of the current tab and attaches it to analytics events for actions such as opening, copying, downloading, download-all, error, and rating flows. The background script posts those events, along with a persistent client ID, to Google Analytics Measurement Protocol.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Image Downloader 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.
