Is CoCites [Beta] safe?
CoCites [Beta] sends Google Scholar result titles to NCBI E-utilities to find matching PubMed IDs.
On Google Scholar result pages, CoCites [Beta] reads each result title and sends it to NCBI E-utilities to resolve a matching PubMed ID. It adds CoCites buttons to PubMed and Google Scholar pages; when a user clicks one, the selected PubMed ID is opened on cocites.com over HTTP.

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.
