Is Unplug'd safe?

Clean risk

Unplug'd sends selected desktop, tab, window, and audio capture to a local receiver over WebSocket connections.

When started from the extension UI, Unplug'd asks Chrome to capture a selected screen, window, or tab and sends video and audio frames to a user-selected or discovered LAN receiver. It also sends client details such as browser, platform, screen resolution, extension version, and connection mode to the receiver.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Unplug'd 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.
