Is PwnFox safe?
PwnFox routes browser traffic through a local Burp proxy when its proxy-all mode is enabled.
When PwnFox is enabled and proxy-all mode is turned on, it sends every browser request through the configured local HTTP proxy, defaulting to 127.0.0.1:8080. Other enabled tools can inject user-saved JavaScript into all pages at document_start, remove security-related response headers, and show page postMessage payloads in the PwnFox devtools panel.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed PwnFox 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.
