Is Dualsub - YouTube Subtitle Translator safe?
Dualsub sends selected subtitle dialogue chunks and an optional API key to api.dualsub.xyz for translation.
When subtitle translation is enabled, the extension fetches the chosen subtitle track, parses dialogue text, and sends chunks with source and target language settings to its translation service. If the user stored a Dualsub API key, that key is included in the request along with extension installation and version metadata.

Shared hosts - 3 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.
