Is readeck safe?

Clean risk

Readeck sends saved page content, headers, and resources to the configured Readeck server when you save a page.

When you choose to save a page, Readeck injects a content script into the active tab, serializes the document or selection, and collects metadata and page headers. The background script packages the page URL, title, HTML content, labels, headers, and resource blobs and posts them to the configured Readeck API endpoint using the stored bearer token.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

Shared hosts - 2 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.

Where it sends data
