Is Advanced Download Manager ADM safe?
Advanced Download Manager ADM links its required desktop installer over cleartext HTTP.
The extension's popup and options pages provide buttons to download the required ADM desktop application from newapptome.com. Those buttons point to HTTP installer files, so the download request and installer transfer are not protected by HTTPS when a user clicks them.

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, 1k+ 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.
