Is Plasma Integration safe?
Plasma Integration sends tab metadata, browsing history, and media playback data to a local KDE native host on the same machine.
The extension connects the browser to the KDE Plasma desktop environment via a native messaging host (org.kde.plasma.browser_integration) running locally. When requested by that host, it shares open tab URLs, titles, and favicons through the tabs runner feature, and returns browser history search results through the history runner. Media playback state—including page URL, title, and artwork—is forwarded to the local MPRIS integration so Plasma's media controls can reflect what is playing in the browser.

Shared hosts - 4 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.1. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Plasma Integration 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.
