Is Highlighter safe?
Highlighter exports selected page text, notes, URLs, timestamps, and configured email to a user-selected Google Sheet.
When you highlight text or add notes, Highlighter records the page URL and selected or typed content in browser storage. If you connect a Google Sheet or use its export flow, it sends those highlights, notes, timestamps, and configured email address to the selected sheet through the Google Sheets API.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 6k+ users between them, none of them carrying 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.
