Is Pacifist Web Extension safe?
Pacifist Web Extension lets any website send chosen archive URLs to its Pacifist native host.
Its listing page is web-accessible on all sites and reads the URL after the question mark as an archive URL. When opened, it forwards that URL in a nativeMessaging request to com.charlessoft.pacifist without origin validation.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Pacifist Web Extension 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.
