Is SyncUp safe?
SyncUp accepts a page message that points its Socket.IO connection at a server chosen by the sender.
SyncUp is a watch-together extension that connects to a Socket.IO server to sync video playback and chat. Its content script runs on all sites and accepts a SYNCWATCH_OPEN_VIDEO message from any web page without checking the page's origin. That message opens a tab and replaces the saved server URL, after which the tab's URL and video title are reported to the new server, which can also send play, pause and seek commands.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed SyncUp 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.

SyncUp sends data to server named in the page-supplied serverUrl. Named as a recipient in this extension's own analysis.
