Is AdGuard VPN — Privacy & Security safe?
AdGuard VPN can disable other installed proxy or VPN extensions when the user triggers conflict resolution.
When a proxy conflict is detected, the extension enumerates all installed browser extensions via the management API and disables any that hold the 'proxy' permission. This action is user-initiated through the 'Disable another VPN extension' button in the popup. No user browsing data or personal information is sent to external servers as part of this behavior.

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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.12.0.3. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
