Is Nitter Redirect safe?

Clean risk

Nitter Redirect rewrites Twitter and Twimg URLs to a configured Nitter instance.

When you open Twitter pages or Twitter media URLs, Nitter Redirect intercepts those requests and redirects them to Nitter instead. It uses the instance saved in extension settings, defaulting to nitter.net, and includes the original Twitter or Twimg URL path in the redirected request.

Shared hosts - 13 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 Nitter Redirect 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.

  • nitter.net

    Nitter Redirect sends data to nitter.net. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
