Is Netsweeper Client Filter safe?

Low risk

Netsweeper Client Filter sends every URL you visit, tagged with your Google account email, to an admin-configured policy server.

The extension reports every page you navigate to, on every site, to a Netsweeper policy server (default filter.cloud.netsweeper.com) for category-based filtering, binding each request to your signed-in Google profile email and, on managed devices, your Windows domain/workstation name or ChromeOS asset ID and serial number. A bundled WASM content-monitoring engine, driven by rules an administrator pushes to the extension, can also capture a full-quality screenshot of the active tab when its (opaque, compiled) matching rules fire.

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