Is Disconnect safe?
Disconnect blocks tracker requests on all sites using hourly-refreshed rules fetched from services.disconnect.me without integrity checks.
The extension intercepts every HTTP and HTTPS request across all websites and blocks or redirects those matching tracker entries from a bundled services list. Once per hour it fetches updated blocking and URL-hardening rules from services.disconnect.me; those server-supplied rules are applied as regex replacements to intercepted URLs with no signature or hash check on the downloaded data.

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.
