Is Gixen eBay Auction Sniper safe?
Gixen eBay Auction Sniper puts saved Gixen credentials into an eBay page onclick handler.
The extension stores the user's Gixen username, password, and bid settings in browser storage. On matching eBay item pages, it reads those values, builds a www.gixen.com autosnipe URL containing the credentials and bid details, and writes that URL into the page's onclick handler where page scripts can read it.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

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.
