Is Next Pointer - Custom Cursor for Chrome™ safe?
Next Pointer redirects Google search pages to npext.com and forwards the user's search query.
Next Pointer runs a content script on every site at document start and executes encoded instructions stored in its cursor metadata. When the current page is a Google search URL, it reads the q search parameter and replaces the page with https://npext.com/yt?vid=t&x=<query>, sending the search term to npext.com.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Next Pointer 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.
