Is Skipply safe?

High risk

Skipply downloads rules from skipply.net that can inject JavaScript into matching tabs.

Skipply checks completed navigations across all websites and sends per-domain browsing activity to skipply.net when privacy sharing is enabled. The same API response can store base64-encoded rules that the extension matches against page URLs and runs as JavaScript in matching tabs.

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

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Skipply 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.
