Is Torrent Control safe?
Torrent Control lets any web page send a magnet URI to the user's configured BitTorrent client.
The extension registers a magnet-link handler that routes matching URLs through its background page. A web page can navigate to the extension's handler URL and cause an attacker-chosen magnet URI to be sent to the BitTorrent Web UI hostname the user configured in the extension.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Torrent Control 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.
