Is CyberGhost Cookie Cleaner safe?
CyberGhost Cookie Cleaner shows whitelisted domains through Google's favicon service.
When its popup lists saved whitelist entries, it builds image URLs for each domain using https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=. That means Google receives the whitelisted domain names needed to fetch those favicons when the popup renders.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

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.
