Is Gimp online - image editor and paint tool safe?
Gimp Online is high risk. Every tab open or switch sends the page URL to offidocs.com, a third party, with a persistent per-install ID, covering all sites, not just detection pages. On by default via 'Detect files', undisclosed. Two test URLs reached it in seconds.
Strong link to a flagged operator: 17 of the 26 other listings from the same operator are rated high or critical for malicious behavior. Flagged: X-Audacity (high), ApkOnline (high), Inkscape (high).

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
19 other listings published from this account, 1.3M+ users between them. 16 of them carry a finding.
Same operator - 7 listings
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
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.
