Is URL Shortener Plus safe?
URL Shortener Plus sends the active tab URL to TinyURL when the popup creates a short link.
When you open the popup, the extension reads the current tab's URL and sends it to TinyURL to generate a shortened link. It also fetches remote notification text and click destinations from jitt.wwevents.fun, but the recorded claim does not identify user data sent to that endpoint.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed URL Shortener Plus 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.
