Is You.com: AI Search Assistant safe?
You.com: AI Search Assistant sends Google search results and a persistent guest ID to You.com.
On Google search pages, the extension reads the query and visible search result URLs, titles, and snippets. It stores or reuses a guest ID in Chrome sync storage and loads You.com's chat iframe with the query, guest ID, and parsed search result data in the URL.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

Destinations our analysis observed You.com: AI Search Assistant 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.
