Is Comics Translator safe?
Comics Translator reports the page URL and image URL, with your Google email as ID, to Alibaba Cloud telemetry on each translation.
When you click Translate Image, the extension sends the current page URL and the image URL to an Alibaba Cloud ARMS monitoring endpoint. The report is tagged with your Google account email as the user identifier. Counters and error logs are reported the same way.

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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Comics Translator contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
