Is KDE Connect safe?
KDE Connect forwards user-shared page, link, and media URLs to its native KDE Connect host.
When you use the popup or context menu, KDE Connect reads the active tab URL or selected link, media, frame, or page URL and sends it as a typeShare message through native messaging. If a default device is configured, opening the popup can immediately send the active tab URL to that device via the local KDE Connect host.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed kde_connect 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.
