Is AliHelper – shopping assistant on AliExpress ™ safe?
AliHelper sends AliExpress page visits, product IDs, URLs, referrer parameters, and a guest ID to AliHelper servers.
When you navigate on AliExpress, AliHelper records top-level page visits and posts event data to its own API. The event can include the full page URL, product ID, referral or affiliate query parameters, and the extension's persistent guest identifier.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 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.
