Is Thinlabs Kiosk safe?
Thinlabs Kiosk writes device MAC address and internal network topology into localStorage on every page the browser visits.
The extension connects to a native host (com.thinlabs.native_messaging_host) to retrieve network data from the kiosk device, including MAC address, internal IP, gateway, and network mask. When this data arrives, the content script — injected on all URLs — stores it in six localStorage keys accessible to any page-level script on any origin. This means any website visited in the kiosk browser can read the device's hardware address and network configuration without any user interaction.
