Is Notefox: Websites notes safe?
Notefox sends the URL of the page you annotate, with an anonymous ID, to notefox.eu as usage telemetry.
Notefox is a website notes extension. By default, when you use its interface, it records the page URL, browser, OS, language and a persistent anonymous ID, and posts batches of these records to notefox.eu every 10 minutes. Telemetry can be switched off in the extension settings.
