Is FB Messenger™ Translator - Immersive Translation safe?
FB Messenger Translator sends Facebook and Messenger message text and draft text to selected translation providers.
When translating Facebook or Messenger conversations, the extension reads message text from the page and sends it through its background script for translation. It can also read text from the compose box while previewing or using shortcuts, then submit that draft text to the selected translation service.

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.
