Is Launch Extension safe?

Clean risk

Launch Extension sends omnibox search queries to click.launch.am through its default search provider.

Launch Extension sets Chrome's default search provider to a Launch Yahoo search URL. When you search from the address bar, Chrome places your search terms into a request to click.launch.am/geo_redirect.php.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Launch Extension 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.

  • click.launch.am
