Is Are.na safe?
Are.na saves selected page URLs, titles, text selections, image URLs, and optional screenshots to Are.na.
When you use the extension UI, it packages the current page details, selected text, link or image URLs, and tab title into a new Are.na block. If you choose to take a screenshot, the extension captures the visible tab, uploads the JPEG to Are.na's temporary S3 bucket, and includes that uploaded image URL in the block creation request.

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.
