Is NCapture safe?
NCapture sends a persistent per-installation UUID to its vendor server on every OAuth credential request and uses a hardcoded AES key to decrypt those credentials client-side.
Each time a user captures content from Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, or a web page, the extension contacts ncaptureservice.qsrinternational.com to fetch OAuth tokens. The request includes a unique client ID generated on first install and stored locally, allowing the vendor to track capture activity per installation. OAuth credentials returned by the server are encrypted with a fixed password and salt baked into the extension source, meaning anyone who can extract the extension code can derive the same decryption key.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed NCapture 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.
- ncaptureservice.qsrinternational.com
NCapture sends data to ncaptureservice.qsrinternational.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
