Is Hippo Video: Video and Screen Recorder safe?
Hippo Video lets allowed external pages read your LinkedIn session cookie through its message handler.
When a permitted external page sends a LinkedIn profile request, the extension reads LinkedIn cookies after cookie permission is available and calls LinkedIn's profile API with them. It responds to the external sender with the li_at session cookie as session_id and, when available, the LinkedIn first name, last name, and profile picture.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same operator - 1 listing
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
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.
