Is Beehiiv PDF Downloader: Export Beehiiv to PDF, Markdown, JSON, Text safe?
Beehiiv PDF Downloader uploads the newsletter page HTML to its own backend to render a PDF when you click download.
When you press the download button on a detected Substack or Beehiiv page, the extension sends the page's HTML, its URL and a client ID to the developer's Cloud Run service, then saves the PDF it returns. This only happens on a user-initiated download, and no web page can trigger it.

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.
