Is Clearly Reader - Your AI Reading Assistant safe?
Adds a reader mode with AI summaries, translation, text-to-speech, export, and cloud sync features for web articles.
This extension turns web pages into a customizable reading view with dark mode, themes, font controls, outlines, links, reading time, and word count. It can summarize, translate, chat with articles, read article text aloud, export content to formats such as PDF, Word, Markdown, and MP3, and send or save articles to services such as Pocket, Craft, Raindrop, Instapaper, Obsidian, and Kindle. It also offers cloud bookmarks, notes sync, article snapshots, RSS support, and cross-device configuration sync.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 42k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 5 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.
