Is Meltwater Extension safe?
Meltwater Extension lets any website open its extension page and send your active tab URL to Meltwater APIs.
Its manifest exposes index.html to all HTTP and HTTPS sites. When that extension page loads, it reads the active tab URL and Meltwater login cookie, then calls Meltwater add-content APIs to check or scrape that URL. This can be triggered by a website loading the extension page, not only by a trusted extension click.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Meltwater 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.
