Is Obsidian Clipper safe?
Obsidian Clipper sends selected page content, the page title, and URL to jplattel.github.io when you clip a page.
When you click the extension, it reads the selected text or selected HTML, the page title, and the current URL. It builds an Obsidian clip URL on jplattel.github.io with the vault, note name, and note content in query parameters, then opens that page to hand off the clip to Obsidian.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 0.5.0. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Obsidian Clipper 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.
