Is ImageAssistant Batch Image Downloader safe?
ImageAssistant sends a persistent per-install tracking ID and extension version to pullywood.com on every startup.
Each time the browser starts, the extension contacts pullywood.com with a 32-character random ID generated at install time and stored permanently, along with the current extension version. It downloads a remotely-controlled set of regex URL rewrite rules that it applies to image URLs it extracts on behalf of the user, giving the server the ability to redirect which URLs the extension fetches. A separate request checks pullywood.com for a newer extension version using the same tracking identifier.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed ImageAssistant Batch Image Downloader 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.
