Is Copy ShortURL safe?
Copy ShortURL sends the page, link, or image URL you choose to a configured URL-shortening service.
When you click the toolbar button, use the shortcut, or choose its context-menu item, Copy ShortURL sends the selected page, link, or image URL to the shortener configured in its settings. By default this is is.gd, and other built-in options include TinyURL, Cutt.ly, Vurl, Bitly, and Kutt.it.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 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.

What it can do
