A Koidex report reveals that a browser extension called Urban VPN Proxy is collecting data, affecting over 8 million users. This extension collects conversations between users and multiple AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) by default and transmits the data to Urban VPN servers for "market analysis." While the extension is "Featured" certified on the Chrome Web Store and promises privacy, it actually uses the collected data for commercial purposes. Users who use this extension after July 9, 2025, are acting under the assumption that their AI conversation data has been captured and shared with third parties.
