Is You.com: Default AI Search & Chat safe?
This extension changes the browser’s default search engine to You.com for AI-powered search and chat answers.
It routes default browser searches to You.com so users can get rich AI answers. The description says You.com provides access to generative AI models such as GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Llama 3, and Gemini 1.5 Pro, and that the default search setting can be changed back.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 10k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed You.com 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.
