Is open-in-overleaf safe?
open-in-overleaf sends the current arXiv abstract URL to Overleaf and its backend when you click its injected link.
The extension adds an Open in Overleaf link on arXiv abstract pages. When clicked, that link opens Overleaf with a snip_uri that points to the extension author's backend and includes the current arXiv page URL so the backend can fetch the paper source.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed open-in-overleaf 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.
