Is Netflix Extended safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Netflix Extended is medium risk. The extension's source code generates a random identifier the first time it runs and stores it permanently in your browser profile. Each time a log event fires — including errors and feature interactions — this identifier is transmitted alongside your extension version and platform to a third-party telemetry server at gathering.solutions. The identifier persists indefinitely and is not tied to any in-app disclosure or consent prompt. When the extension is installed for the first time, it opens a new browser tab to a thank-you survey page at svodextensions.com. The URL contains two tracking parameters appended without prompting the user: a persistent UUID generated by the extension (the same identifier used for telemetry) and the extension's distribution ID. This allows svodextensions.com to link the new installation to a specific browser profile.
