Is ImTranslator: Translator, Dictionary, TTS safe?
ImTranslator sends selected text from any webpage to its own servers for translation and text-to-speech processing.
When a user triggers a translation or text-to-speech action, the extension POSTs the selected text to imtranslator.net and text-to-speech.imtranslator.net. The extension also registers a webRequest listener on all browser URLs that reads outgoing HTTP headers—including Authorization and Cookie headers—before forwarding requests, though it only modifies headers for Google Translate traffic.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 4 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.
