Is DataSnipper WebSnip Extension safe?
DataSnipper WebSnip Extension copies visible-tab screenshots and page URLs to the clipboard for its Excel add-in.
When you start a WebSnip, the extension captures the visible tab as a PNG, stores it with the page URL and timestamp, then injects a snipping UI. After you draw a selection, it packages the screenshot, URL, timestamp, and snip coordinates into a DS_WEBSNIP_ JSON message and writes it to the system clipboard for the DataSnipper Excel add-in.

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.
