Is Ghost PDF Downloader: Export Ghost to PDF, Markdown, JSON, Text safe?
Ghost PDF Downloader sends the full HTML of the page you export to its Cloud Run backend for PDF rendering.
When you export a Ghost, Substack or Medium article, the extension uploads the page's HTML to the vendor's server, which renders the PDF. Each export also reports the article title, filename, format and source URL to the same backend, tagged with a persistent client ID stored in your browser.

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.
