Is Shortcut Tab Switcher safe?
Shortcut Tab Switcher sends the active tab URL to Google Analytics when its hotkey popup opens.
When the hotkey popup command runs, the service worker queries the active tab and passes that tab's URL into a Google Analytics page_view event. The analytics request posts the URL as page_location alongside a generated client_id and session data to www.google-analytics.com.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Shortcut Tab Switcher 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.
