Is Google™ SERP Simulator by Semalt safe?

Low risk

Google SERP Simulator by Semalt can disable installed SEO extensions from a Semalt-controlled ID list.

The extension fetches a list of Chrome extension IDs from Semalt and checks it against the browser's installed extensions. If the user accepts its prompt, it sends a background request that disables matching enabled extensions through Chrome's management API.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 4 hostnames

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.
