Is Gmail Web Clipper by cloudHQ safe?

Clean risk

Gmail Web Clipper by cloudHQ sends clipped page URLs, titles, and page content to cloudHQ when you save to Gmail.

When you use the extension action or context menu to clip a page, the extension injects a script into the active tab to collect the page URL, title, and selected or cloned page content. It then posts that content as HTML and text to cloudHQ's save-to-Gmail endpoint.

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.
