Is impact.com for Chrome safe?
impact.com for Chrome sends visited domains to impact.com when publisher-mode affiliation checks run.
When a signed-in publisher navigates the web, the extension checks each eligible visited domain against impact.com's browser extension affiliation API. The request sends the domain from the current tab with the user's access token, while the extension also embeds a fixed Basic API credential used for login and token refresh requests.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 186 users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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.
