Is Xpath Ninja safe?
Xpath Ninja captures clicked element attributes and text from every webpage and sends them to a local HTTP server at 127.0.0.1:8000.
On every mousedown event across all websites and frames, the extension collects the target element's tag, class, id, aria-label, and visible text content. This data is assembled into an XPath descriptor and forwarded from the content script to the background page, which POSTs it as JSON to http://127.0.0.1:8000/my-api/. The local server appears to be a companion test-automation tool; page text from any site visited—including forms and buttons—flows to that endpoint on every click.
