Is Stat Layer – Website Traffic & SEO Checker safe?
Stat Layer sends the active tab's hostname to SimilarWeb's private data API when you open the popup.
When you open the extension's popup, it reads the hostname of your current tab and queries SimilarWeb's unauthenticated data API for that domain's traffic and rank stats, sending an x-extension-version header that mimics SimilarWeb's own official extension. The response is cached locally for 10 minutes, and the domain is added to a local history list of up to 100 entries. This only happens for domains you actively look up in the popup.
