Is Pawaka PDF - PDF viewer and editor safe?
Pawaka PDF redirects every PDF tab you open to its own server, sending the full original URL along.
Whenever any browser tab finishes loading a URL ending in '.pdf', the extension's background script rewrites that tab to https://pdf.pawakalabs.com/pdf_editor, passing the original PDF URL as a query parameter. This happens for PDFs on any website, not just ones the extension is meant to work with, and any tokens or credentials embedded in that URL travel to Pawaka's server along with it.
