Is Genealogy Assistant safe?
Genealogy Assistant uploads support reports with the current page URL, title, HTML, screenshot, settings, and browser details.
When a user chooses Generate a support code, Genealogy Assistant captures the current genealogy page's URL, title, full HTML, and a screenshot. The background script adds the browser user agent and extension settings, then sends the report to config.genea.ca/report.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Genealogy Assistant 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.
