Is Referral Codes Reminder safe?

Low risk

Referral Codes Reminder contacts api64.ipify.org on install, exposing the user's public IP address to that service.

When the extension is installed, its background worker requests https://api64.ipify.org?format=json before any user action or settings choice. That request lets the IP echo service see the user's public IP address, and the returned value is logged by the extension.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
