Is Malware & URL Scanner safe?
Malware & URL Scanner sends scanned URLs and domains to multiple reputation APIs, including several over HTTP.
When you launch a URL scan from the extension, it parses the page URL and sends the URL or domain to external lookup services. Several requests use cleartext HTTP, including WHOIS, reverse IP, DNS, archive lookup, and VirusTotal report endpoints, so the scanned sites are visible to those services and to networks handling the traffic.

Destinations our analysis observed URL Scanner 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.
