Is CarGurus Dealer safe?
CarGurus Dealer scans webpages for VINs and sends detected vehicle identifiers to CarGurus pricing APIs.
CarGurus Dealer registers a VIN-scanning content script on all HTTP and HTTPS pages and collects VINs found in page text with the page URL, timestamp, and tab ID. When the dealer side panel requests pricing recommendations, it sends the detected VINs with the service provider ID to CarGurus' BrowserExtensionPriceRecApi endpoint.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.
