Is Notepad++ online safe?

Low risk

Notepad++ Online loads a remote page from winfy.net in its popup instead of providing a local editor.

The popup contains no editor. After you confirm a dialog, it embeds a page from www.winfy.net in a frame, and a menu option opens another winfy.net page in a new tab. The framed content is controlled by the server, and anything typed into it goes to winfy.net.

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