Is Off The Record History safe?
Off The Record History sends a persistent extension UID and usage events to Google Analytics.
The extension stores incognito browsing history locally for its core feature, and its popup also sends Google Analytics events tied to a stored UID. Those events include usage, install, session, version, environment, and settings values; the confirmed claim does not show visited URLs being sent.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 0.4.1. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
