Is Refined GitHub safe?
Refined GitHub fetches version-specific CSS from refined-github.github.io and injects it into GitHub pages.
When a supported GitHub or Gist page loads, the extension asks its background script for a style hotfix. The background script retrieves CSS for version 26.7 from refined-github.github.io/yolo and, if present, prepends it as a page style unless the page is GitHub Enterprise or a development build.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed refined-github- 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.
