Is Advanced Downloader for Instagram™ safe?
Advanced Downloader for Instagram sends search queries and result URLs to mtusgate.de and rewrites matched links.
The extension runs a helper script on every website, including search-result pages, and reads the search query plus result-link URLs from the page. It posts that data to mtusgate.de for matching, then replaces matching result links with redirect URLs that route clicks through mtusrede.de.

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 1.6. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
