Is 📌 Pinterest Pixel Helper 🛠️ safe?
Pinterest Pixel Helper records Pinterest tag IDs and event names from ct.pinterest.com requests into local storage.
When any page sends a request to ct.pinterest.com, the extension extracts the tid and event query parameters and saves them in chrome.storage.local with the tab ID. The popup reads that local data and displays tag IDs and events for the active tab; the code does not show it forwarding this stored data elsewhere.
