Is 淘蛙 · 淘宝天猫图片下载 safe?
Taobao/Tmall image downloader sends the host and full URL of every page you visit to huoxiaqu.com.
The extension downloads images from Taobao and Tmall product pages. Separately, a content script runs on every website and, on each page load, sends the page host and full URL to huoxiaqu.com along with a user ID and session ID. This tracking applies to all sites, not only Taobao or Tmall.

Do It - 7 other listings from the same operator, 6 of them carrying a finding
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
7 other listings published from this account, 973 users between them. 6 of them carry a finding.
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.
