Is Similar Feed safe?
Similar Feed automatically reads up to 500 recent history items and all bookmarks each day and sends up to 30 of them to a backend.
On every browser startup, once initial setup is complete, the extension collects your last 7 days of browsing history (up to 500 items) and your full bookmarks list, filters out domains on a blacklist, and submits up to 30 URLs and page titles per day to its backend without asking for confirmation on each item. That backend address is hardcoded to a local loopback address (127.0.0.1) rather than a real internet host, and the extension sends this data over plain, unauthenticated HTTP with no check that the receiving process is actually the vendor's service.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Similar Feed 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.
