Is ChinaHelper - Shop assistant in Chinese store safe?
ChinaHelper silently redirects ordinary AliExpress product page visits through an affiliate link carrying the developer's own tracking IDs.
When you navigate to an AliExpress (or Tmall) product page, the extension's background service worker checks a remotely-fetched configuration and, if you haven't already been tagged this session, force-navigates your open tab through a redirector URL (alitems.com, or a Russian equivalent) that appends the developer's affiliate and click IDs before landing back on the original page. It also reports the redirected tab URL and click ID to the developer's own analytics endpoint. This happens automatically on normal browsing, not just when you click a promotional link the extension displays.
