Is Browse.live Ad Control safe?
Browse.live Ad Control sends visited page URLs and referrers to anonymous.browse.live during browsing.
Browse.live Ad Control runs a content script on every page and reports when a page becomes visible. Its background script sends telemetry that includes the page URL, top-level tab URL, referrer URL, frame status, browser user agent, locale, and extension configuration details to anonymous.browse.live.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 10k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 4 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.
