Is Free SMS, Fax Receiver safe?
Free SMS, Fax Receiver retrieves shared SMS inbox messages from newappzone.com and caches the last response locally.
When the popup opens, the extension requests SMS inbox data from newappzone.com/sendfax/smsfax.php and displays sender, time, and message body fields. If messages are returned, it stores the raw response in extension local storage for short-term reuse.

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.
