Is HiTab - New Tab Dashboard and Widgets safe?
This extension replaces the new tab page with a customizable dashboard of widgets, bookmarks, search, and shortcuts.
It lets users arrange widgets and icons, add frequently visited sites, customize wallpapers and dark or light mode, and choose or add search engines. The dashboard can include tools such as countdowns, notes, to-do lists, weather, hot searches, calculators, calendars, quotes, news, habit tracking, system status, currency conversion, games, bookmark management, clocks, and world time. The description also says users can log in or register a HiTab account to back up and sync data across devices and receive messages from HiTab.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 27 hostnames
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.
