Is NYT Reader: Unlock the New York Times safe?
NYT Reader sends your Chrome profile email, device fingerprint, and NYT article count to api.gethogrider.com.
When the extension is installed, its background worker reads the signed-in Chrome profile email and submits it for HogRider license validation. It also creates or reuses a persistent browser/device fingerprint and syncs that fingerprint with monthly New York Times article counts when NYTimes article pages are visited.
