Is xBrowserSync safe?
xBrowserSync encrypts bookmark data locally and sends it to api.xbrowsersync.org for synchronization.
After the user enables sync, the extension converts bookmarks into records with titles, URLs, descriptions, tags, and child bookmarks. It compresses and encrypts that JSON locally before uploading the encrypted blob to the configured xBrowserSync service, which defaults to api.xbrowsersync.org.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed xBrowserSync 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.
