Is Web Archive safe?
Web Archive opens user-selected page or link URLs through multiple archive and search providers.
When you use its context menu or popup, Web Archive encodes the selected link or current page URL into archive and search service requests. The URL is sent to the chosen provider, or to all configured providers if you select the option to open all services.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Web Archive 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.
