Is Always active Window (Always Visible) safe?

Clean risk

Always active Window keeps configured pages appearing visible and focused to page scripts.

When enabled for a site, Always active Window changes what page JavaScript sees so the page continues to read as visible, not hidden, and focused after the tab or window is backgrounded. It also suppresses selected visibility, focus, blur, pagehide, and mouse events according to the extension's stored settings. The reviewed claim found this behavior only on user-configured hosts or all sites when that mode is chosen, and found no outbound data-sending path in the injected scripts.

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

Shared hosts - 2 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.
