Is HBO Max Episode Selector: HBO episode list. [QVI] safe?

Low risk

HBO Max Episode Selector uploads your Max account profiles, watch history and subscriptions to me3x.online, on by default.

On Max and HBO Max pages, the extension asks its server for a list of commands, then runs them using your logged-in HBO token. The commands read your profiles, continue-watching list, subscriptions, live schedule and any URLs the server names, and the results are posted back with your account and profile IDs. Sharing is enabled by default at install, and profile details such as first name, username and region are also sent, base64-encoded, to metricsmint.quest.

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.
