Is Highlight Emails in Gmail by cloudHQ safe?
Highlight Emails in Gmail by cloudHQ sends signed-in Gmail account addresses to www.cloudhq.net during Gmail startup.
When Gmail loads, the extension reads the current InboxSDK Gmail address and checks Gmail account switcher entries for additional signed-in addresses. It posts those addresses and extension metadata to cloudHQ's pre-user check endpoint, with local storage only limiting how often the automatic check repeats.

Same store account
13 other listings published from this account, 130k+ users between them. 1 of them carries 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.
