Is ImageAssistant Batch Image Downloader safe?
ImageAssistant patches XHR and fetch on every page to scan HTTP responses for image URLs, and sends a persistent per-install fingerprint to pullywood.com on startup.
On every website, the extension injects a script that intercepts all XHR and fetch responses—including authenticated API responses—and reads the full response body to extract image URLs. On browser startup, it contacts pullywood.com twice: once to transmit a stable per-install fingerprint appended to the request URL, and once to download remote regex rewrite rules that control how image URLs are processed. These rules are applied without any integrity check, allowing the developer to push new URL transformation patterns at any time.

Shared hosts - 3 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed IA 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.
