Is Download with Ant Download Manager safe?
Download with Ant Download Manager forwards download request details and credentials to its local native app.
When integration with the native Ant Download Manager app is enabled, the extension monitors web and download requests across HTTP and HTTPS sites. For media or download items, it sends the URL, page URL, cookies, referrer, user agent, POST data, and Basic-auth credentials to the local native messaging host.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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 DLHelper 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.
