Is LittleBee safe?
LittleBee adds a DevTools panel that captures analytics events from Xiaoman's sensors endpoint and uploads them to a Xiaoman test server.
The extension is a developer testing tool that attaches the Chrome debugger from its DevTools panel and intercepts requests to datasink-sensorsdata.xiaoman.cn. The captured analytics event payloads are compared and added via POST to tester.dev.xiaoman.cn. It has no content scripts or host permissions.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed LittleBee 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.
