Is LinkedIn Extension safe?
LinkedIn Extension reads your LinkedIn session cookie to request LinkedIn badge counts.
On LinkedIn pages, the extension reads the JSESSIONID cookie and stores it as a CSRF token for its background script. It uses that token with browser credentials to call LinkedIn's badge-count API for communication tab counts.
