Is UpGuard Cyber Security Ratings safe?

Clean risk

UpGuard Cyber Security Ratings sends the active tab URL to UpGuard's scoring service when tabs change.

When tabs are created, updated, activated, or the browser window regains focus, the extension reads the active tab's full URL. It sends that URL to UpGuard's webscan scoring API and caches the returned score by hostname to update the extension badge.
