Is Proxy & User-Agent Switcher for Chrome safe?

Clean risk

This extension switches Chrome proxy settings and user-agent strings while browsing.

It lets users change proxy profiles for geolocation testing and switch user-agent strings for mobile device testing. It supports importing and exporting custom proxy profiles, auto turning off the proxy, reloading the current page with the selected proxy or user-agent, and syncing proxy configuration through the Chrome user account.

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.
