Is Milanote Web Clipper safe?

Low risk

Milanote Web Clipper lets allowed web pages request Milanote account state through its background bridge.

Milanote Web Clipper exposes an external messaging bridge to localhost and Milanote web pages. Those pages can trigger a user refresh that contacts Milanote's app-init API with the extension's stored authorization token and can receive extension state that includes persisted Milanote user and board metadata.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 3 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
