Is Alitools shopping assistant safe?
Alitools shopping assistant can send its full local extension storage to Alitools during storage errors.
When remote logging is enabled and a storage error occurs, the extension packages its local storage with the error details and posts it to Alitools. That storage can include the user's Alitools auth token plus saved product, favorite, and viewed-product history data.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 9 hostnames
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.
