Is Smart Mute safe?

Low risk

Smart Mute sends extension lifecycle and settings events to Google Analytics using an embedded API secret.

The extension posts Measurement Protocol events to www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect during install, update, session start, popup/list activity, permission prompts, and feature toggles. Each request includes the bundled measurement ID and API secret; the confirmed evidence does not show browsing contents being sent.

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

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Smart Mute 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.
