Is Xget Now safe?

Clean risk

Xget Now routes supported-site download URLs through the configured Xget proxy domain.

Xget Now watches download links and browser download events on supported code, package, and file-hosting sites. When enabled, it preserves the original path, query, and fragment and rewrites the download to the configured Xget domain before starting or navigating to the new URL.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.0.4. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Xget Now 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.

  • xget.xi-xu.me

    Xget Now sends data to xget.xi-xu.me. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
