Is OpenShot safe?

Question

Is OpenShot safe?

Accepted Answer

OpenShot is high risk. Our dynamic analysis captured GET requests fired to offidocs.com on every page navigation. The full URL of each page you visit — including pages unrelated to video editing — is hex-encoded and sent to the extension's server as a query parameter, alongside a 10-character ID that uniquely identifies your browser. We observed three separate navigations (google.com, amazon.com, facebook.com) all captured with the same user ID within the same session. Our dynamic analysis confirmed that the extension generates a 10-character random ID the first time it processes a navigation, stores it in chrome.storage.local, and appends it as the 'u' query parameter to every subsequent tracking request. We observed the same ID (qfyyih63ol) across three separate navigations in a test session, and confirmed it persists in storage across browser restarts. This ID is never visible to you and cannot be reset through normal extension use.
