Is Clearly Reader safe?
Clearly Reader sends the current page URL to trk.lesslab.net when you create or remove highlights.
When you use the page highlighter, the extension posts an event to trk.lesslab.net with the current page URL. Highlight creation events also include the highlight color and character length, while removal events are sent with the page URL.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

Where it sends data
