Is Cashback service Paidwork safe?

Medium risk

Cashback service Paidwork can send its stored Paidwork user ID to a page-controlled URL after a click.

The extension runs a content script on most HTTPS pages and binds a click handler to a matching page element. When clicked, it reads the stored Paidwork user ID and redirects the browser to the element's URL with that ID appended as an epi parameter.

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.
