Is Hunter: Find email addresses in seconds safe?
Hunter sends the active tab's domain to extension-api.hunter.io when pages load or the active tab changes.
Hunter checks the current website's domain on page loads and tab switches to decide whether its toolbar icon should show available email data. The extension reduces the active tab URL to a relevant domain and sends that domain to extension-api.hunter.io/data-for-domain.

Shared hosts - 2 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.
