Is WebWatchDog safe?

Clean risk

WebWatchDog sends the address of your active tab to its own server to check it against a scam-site list.

When you open the popup, the extension reads the protocol and host of the current tab and requests a reputation check from api.webwatchdog.org. The background script only opens the extension page on install. No other data collection was found in the code.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed WebWatchDog 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.
