Is HBOMax Video Bender: rotate and zoom [QVI] safe?

Low risk

HBOMax Video Bender sends your HBO Max profile details and watch history to me3x.online and metricsmint.quest.

On HBO Max and Max pages, the extension reads profile fields (first name, username, region, profile ID), watch history and subscription data, and uploads them keyed to a persistent random user ID. Sharing is switched on by default at install, and the servers can instruct the extension which account data to fetch using your logged-in session. None of this is needed for the video rotate and zoom feature.

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.
