Is Google™ Translator safe?
Google Translator sends selected page and form text to Google Translate for translation.
When you select text on a page or inside supported editable fields, the extension can send that text to Google Translate to fetch a translation. The selected text is included in requests to Google Translate's translation endpoint.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

What it can do
