Is Politipipe safe?

Clean risk

Politipipe sends the full URL of every http/https page you visit to politipipe.com to fetch an article rating.

On every tab update or activation, the extension's background worker reads the active tab's URL and sends it, unencoded, to politipipe.com. The returned score is shown as the toolbar badge. The extension has no content scripts and the request is not limited to news sites.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Politipipe 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.
