Is Narrator + safe?

Clean risk

Narrator + sends text selected for narration to GitHub issue-path endpoints for remote speech.

When you start playback from the popup, shortcut, or context menu, Narrator + reads text from the active tab and uses it as the speech utterance. For remote speech voices, it builds requests to GitHub issue-path endpoints with the active-tab text in the q query parameter; short language-detection checks can also POST text to the same service base.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Narrator + 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.
