Is Scraper safe?
Scraper publishes non-private crawler definitions to its MongoDB Stitch backend.
When a user saves a crawler without marking it private, Scraper sends the crawler URL, title, selector and regex fields, locale, favicon, and date to its backend. The extension inserts that entry into a public feeds collection used by its crawler list.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
Publishers can request a review.
What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.2.9. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Scraper 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.
