Shai Coleman (ID: 000000e4f70cd840) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/02/2024 It's spyware - it sends URLs you visit with your unique user ID as "statistics", even when not using the reader mode extension. Example data which is encrypted for obfuscation: {"fileDate":"2024-05-02T10:56:39.061Z","deviceTimestamp":1714647399.061,"userId":"4da4940a-f6af-4092-8f24-e14fb6cc524f ","targetUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/","requestType":"GET"}

Pomrani an (ID: 000000070093c98e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/15/2024 Used to be a excellent app. Now it includes malware that redirects you to impacthero.co without your permission.

Rayne (ID: 0000008ba17a25ef) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/17/2024 started randomly opening a "impacthero.co" page on random link clicking
