Is Patreon PDF Downloader: Export Patreon to PDF, Markdown, JSON, Text safe?
Patreon PDF Downloader sends the full HTML of the page you save to its own Cloud Run server to render a PDF.
When you save a Patreon, Substack, Medium or Ghost article, the extension uploads the page's full HTML, its base URL and colour scheme to the vendor's backend, along with a persistent client ID and an optional license key. The server returns the PDF, which is downloaded and can optionally be synced to a connected Drive, Dropbox or Yandex account. A hardcoded fallback test license key is also sent when debug mode is enabled and no key is set.
