Is Highlight This: finds and marks words safe?
Highlight This fetches ad rules from HighlightThis and rewrites matching links on pages for ad-license users.
When the license mode is Ad, the extension downloads ad configuration from api.highlightthis.net and applies it in a content script on web pages. For configured hostnames, it checks page links and appends or overwrites tracking query parameters on matching anchors. It also posts analytics to api.highlightthis.net with the extension version, browser language, install ID, settings, and aggregate highlight-group and word counts.

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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Highlight This contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
